- Edison Herbert - More Beautiful Each Day May
20, 2005 - Seems like no sooner have I written off the European smooth jazz scene
as something of a wasteland than great CD's from the 'wrong side' of the Atlantic
inundate me. First we had the excellent 'Downtown' from Konstantin
Klashtorni and now, completely different but every bit as good, comes 'More
Beautiful Each Day' on Betterday Records from UK based smooth jazz guitarist Edison
Herbert. Inspired in his youth by the playing of George
Benson in general and his album 'George
Benson In Flight' in particular it was no surprise that Edison made the guitar
his chosen instrument and, from his gospel roots, started pushing out the boundaries
to include R & B, pop and jazz. Trained as a classical pianist, and with credits
that include work in television and on London's West End stage, it is clear that
'More Beautiful Each Day' is the culmination of his career so far with influences
and experiences interwoven into his very own sound. More
