| | Jeff Golub - GRP Records (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Golub's sense of spontaneity prevails throughout Soul Sessions, whether he is embracing his own melodies or putting his spin on famous hits that range from the Ohio Players' "Skin Tight" to No Doubt's "Underneath It All" (which employs GRP's new star Mindi Abair on background vocals). |
 | | Golub was raised on a healthy diet of blues, RandB, jazz, pop and rock, and even though jazz guitarists like Wes Montgomery and George Benson have had a major impact on his playing, Golub doesn't consider himself a jazz purist. |
 | | Golub's albums have reflected an improviser's mentality, and he loves being compared to artists like David Sanborn, the Crusaders, Joe Sample, Ronnie Laws and the late Grover Washington, Jr.-that is, musicians who have had a funkier, gutsier, more improvisatory vision of what we now call smooth jazz. |
