Denny Jiosa
HERES WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING about Dennys
music.. Jeff Charney _at_ Contemporaryjazz.com...
Is that smoke coming out of my CD player? He is
one of the most under rated guitarist on the
Smooth Jazz circuit. Jiosa takes it to the next
level on body2body...Im talking about the
playing,compositions written,choice of the few
covers that grace this CD and the energy that
flies off this disc! There are ten out of ten
excellent songs on this CD...how often does that
happen? Sandy Shore _at_ Smoothjazz.com.... body2b
ody is solid smooth jazz...pleasurable listening
from beginning to end. If your a fan of smooth
guitar in the vein of Lee Ritenour and Larry
Carlton, this CD is for you! CAROL ARCHER _at_
RADIO AND RECORDS.... Jiosas a journeyman
musician whose music often provides
fresh,interesting,non-formulaic additions to
smooth jazz playlists.That has never been more
true than for his latest, body2body, which
showcases his talents at their most mature to
date......which is to say, dazzling! JAZZ-IZ
MAGAZINE..... "If Eric Clapton played smooth
jazz, hed sound like Denny Jiosa. Jiosa simmers
rather than over powers. Denny proves he has both
smooth and "real jazz chops. JazzTimes
MAGAZINE..... ...."Jiosas lithe melody touches
both twinkling harmonies and darker chords, as if
illustrating the complexity of Humanity"
SONGWRITERS MONTHLY.... Jiosa can make his
instrument sing rather effortlessly with just his
virtuosic control of tone and his masterful
style. It is as if the guitars are alive and
humming along with the music rather than being
played."
MUSIC BOULEVARD.... " Denny Jiosa is one of the
top contemporary jazz guitarist on the scene
today.....This new CD is a great blend of
contemporary jazz and traditional jazz, with
improvising reminiscent of Wes Montgomery."
DAYTON DAILY NEWS... "Smooth jazz guitarist Denny
Jiosa demonstrates hes an eclectic and lyrical
musician. One hears echoes of Wes Montgomery and
George Benson with nods of John Scofield and Eric
Clapton. Jiosas slinky octaves over the surging
RB groove is a perfect marriage - one made in
good- foot heaven." ENTERTAINMENT NEWS... "Mix
the classic cool jazz of Wes Montgomery, B.B.
King and Eric Clapton and youll have a small
idea of what Denny Jiosa is all about. Eleven
cuts will do a number on your mind, body and
soul."

Authors Choice...
Among todays smooth jazz stars are saxophonist
Boney James, Richard Elliot and Dave
Koz... While some of these players are a
little too smooth for my taste, some other artist
in the contempoary category make more
challenging music. Among my favorites the
Yellowjackets, Spyro Gyra, Fourplay, the
Rippingtons,keyboard player Joe Sample, drummer
Dave Weckle, guitarist Denny Jiosa , saxophonist
George Howard, Kim Waters, and Grover
Washington,Jr.
