Welcome to our Featured Artists Section |
 |
|
Our featured Artists section is a place where we let you know about artists in the Smooth Jazz community that we really enjoy. Give a listen to their sounds and perhaps you'll even download their new albums, which are all available on www.rhapsody.com and www.itunes.com - two services we highly recommend. So browse their sites and we hope that you will add their music to your personal collection as we have.
Sincerely, DJ Peter B |

You'll find a voice of Nita Whitaker a soothing and gentle sound. For a mother of two young children, winner of Star Search, star of "Ragtime", wife of the "Movie Annoucer Guy" - Don LaFontaine - (the Geico commercials) and former Miss Louisiana, singer Nita Whitaker, who gave her first public performance at age three, has a wealth of experience to impart and the voice to do it. A protégé of writer/producer/musician David Foster, Ms. Whitaker's recently released CD, ONE VOICE, is an album of songs which reflects the various aspects of the path(s) she has followed and continues to follow, to mature as a singer and a balanced, focused person.

Michael Civisca is a performer who sings the music of the Great American Songbook. His voice carries the warmth and style of a modern-day crooner.
Michael is dedicated to the production of recordings and performances that spotlight the music of the great composers like Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, George and Ira Gershwin, and Irving Berlin. And he's a personal friend of mine. Michael is by far one of greatest crooners since Frank Sinatra. I know you'll enjoy sitting back and listening to his music as much as I do.

If Allentown, Pennsylvania native Rick Braun had his way, he would be a drummer today. Rick traces his critical decision to the third grade at Allentown's now-demolished Stevens Elementary School. "With a big family and a small house, drums weren't exactly smiled upon." The trumpet, his eventual instrument of choice, was a "little less painful" for other family members than his other choice - the violin. Today, no one is complaining. Click here for MORE...
