Smooth
Jazz Goes Cruising Crazy February
21, 2005 - Seems like everyone is cruising these days. Smooth Jazz Cruise pioneer
Warren Hill has just completed his second
sell out full charter while, almost at the same time, Bob
James was sailing on a musical journey out of San Diego. Later in the year
Rick Braun is leading a top-notch line up
on a seven-day trip out of Galveston and Warren Hill's 2006 event is already proving
to be a big early seller. Sandwiched among all this is the "Dave
Koz & Friends At Sea" cruise that sails from San Diego on November
5 and is being managed by the same organization that made Hills last event such
a success. Calling at destinations that include Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas and Peurto
Vallarta, Koz has assembled a line up every bit as good as one would expect from
this master of live Smooth Jazz. Artists already confirmed, and who performed
on the Hill cruise, are Wayman Tisdale,
Kirk Whalum, Jeff
Golub, and Jonathan Butler. Joining
them will be Marc Antoine, Patti
Austin, David Benoit, Chris
Botti, George Duke, Jeffrey
Osborne and Praful. It's a line up that promises
to produce seven days of high quality Smooth Jazz. - By Denis

Hill Looking Ahead To Big Things March
24, 2004 - Warren Hill is busy these days
working on two major projects. First the saxophonist is finalizing the line up
for his next Smooth Cruise slated for January 2005 plus he's working on his tenth
album to be released on his own label. Hill started the year off right as the
recipient of Canada's first Smooth Jazz award. In February he won "Smooth
Jazz Artist of the Year" at the National
Jazz Awards in his hometown of Toronto. We chatted with Warren via phone on
March 17, 2004 from his home in Colorado.
