When, back in 2004, revered producer and hit-maker Paul Brown released the album ‘Up Front’ it seemed no more than a temporary diversion from his ‘day job’ of future-proofing contemporary jazz for the twenty first century. However, such was the impact that ‘Up Front’ made he instantly emerged as a recording artist in his own right and although he has continued as a producer for both established and emerging smooth jazz performers his steadily growing discography has revealed another side to his musical persona. This revelation looks set to continue apace with ‘One Way Back’ that will be released September 30 on the Woodward Avenue label. The first single to be offered to radio is ‘Put It Where You Want It’, a cool remake of the Crusaders hit from 1972 that on the original featured Larry Carlton and which here fits Brown’s bluesy style to perfection.
