Album Description
Mindi Abair's GRP Records debut, "It Just Happens That Way," is filled with in-the-pocket grooves, well crafted songs, and a decidedly pop sensibility that's unique to the current smooth jazz landscape. That's because in addition to playing with the biggest names in smooth jazz, Abair has been a fixture in the pop world as saxophonist of choice for artists including Backstreet Boys and Mandy Moore. Producer/guitarist Matthew Hager also brings his pop roots to the project having worked with such artists as Mandy Moore, Duran Duran, and Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots.

The resulting instrumental smooth-pop fusion is completely fresh, fun, and is destined to stay in your CD player once you first give it a listen

Customer Reviews

Mindi Abair's solo debut is exceptional
You like smooth jazz? You like smart and original melodies? You like buying a CD and being able to enjoy every single track? Mindi Abair's new album "It Just Happens That Way" is perfect. Loaded with original and creative songs that are a break from the run-of-the-mill jazz that is prevalent today, this CD is enjoyable from start to finish. I find the CD has a song for me no matter what mood I'm in. If you don't know Mindi she is an attractive young lady who jams on the sax as good as anyone and can also sing in a distinctive way. This is the best CD to come along for smooth jazz fans in a long while.

Mindi's solo debut is truly amazing!
This is a great CD. Mindi Abair is the newest and best thing to come out of smooth jazz in a long time. I bought this CD on a whim while scouring the music isles and I am very glad I did. Compared to everything else on the racks it looked like it would be different and would introduce something new and refreshing to my tired jazz collection. Did I mention it's a great CD? Mindi is talented, her songs are original and creative. If you like smooth jazz and want to take a chance on a new artist who will soon be a household name get the CD and you'll soon love it.
