Happy New Year!! Wow what a year 2010 was and we are very excited about 2011!! Great concerts from Chris Botti, Earl Klugh, BB King and more to follow I’m sure. I am so blessed to have you all in my life, and can’t think of a better way to bring such great music to you every week than through the Smooth Sunday Brunch. I hope you’ll join me every Sunday as we try and bring the very best to you so that you can relax, reflect and inspire yourself for the coming week, month and year ~Taylor

Great new smooth this weekend too,, New Jeff Golub from his new CD due out in stores and on I-Tunes on 8/25 and Melody Gardot with a nice vocal called “Who Will Comfort Me”, a very bluesy smooth track for you. Plus Dwayne Kerr featuring Kirk Whalum, Dwayne is a flautist (look it up silly) and you’ll be mesmerized by this groove. Hope you enjoy the new blog, the new website and the Smooth Sunday Brunch
