Smooth jazz with soul? Yes, it is possible and accomplished with style on SHADOW AND LIGHT, the latest release from veteran guitarist Craig Chaquico. Infusing this set of tunes with a light Latin simmer and the occasional presence of the electric guitar (a trick he learned after the success of his 2000 hit "Cafe Carnival"), SHADOW AND LIGHT bridges Chaquico's past and future more effectively than any of his previous releases. The cherry on the top of this sonic sundae is the support of saxmen Warren Hill and Jeff Kashiwa, who push the power wattage to the max on the rock'n'bossa nova ditty "Compared to What" and a sultry remix of "Café Carnival."
