This CD is off the chain! Jonathan has captured the soul of smooth jazz in every song. I anxiously await the next CD!

BRIAN CULBERTSON, RAMSEY LEWIS, BRIAN SIMPSON, DAVID BENOIT IS SMOOTH JAZZ @ ITS BEST AND I COULD NAME MANY MORE KEYBOARDIST, BUT NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE THIS ELEGANT MASTERPIECE NEEDS WORLD WIDE ATTENTION FOR "JONATHAN FRITZEN" CREATIVITY AND A SENSUOUS FLAVA ESPECIALLY ON NEW YORK RADIO WITH "DEEP DOWN" ON "HARLEM AFTER MIDNITE". WE HOPE TO HERE MORE FROM THIS KEYBOARDIST.

Breezy, sophisticated piano playing and hip, stylish songs -- LOVE BIRDS, the debut from 25-year-old Swede Jonathan Fritzén. The eleven original compositions convey a crisp, signature sound that will introduce this talented recording artist as an instant star. Born in Stockholm to a Swedish mother and an American father, Jonathan grew up in a musical family. On LOVE BIRDS he handles everything... from writing, playing and vocalizing to producing the album. A graduate from the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm, Jonathan is one of the first students to receive a Masters Degree from the Jazz dept. With all eyes currently on another Swedish musical sensation (Mama Mia in theaters worldwide) the charismatic young artist has chosen the perfect time to present his LOVE BIRDS. No stranger to fame, the bright-eyed Fritzén has worked on popular TV shows in his homeland and has played with some of the country's biggest stars. When I spoke to Jonathan, I asked what influenced him to write Smooth Jazz and his answer was that he's been listening to SmoothJazz.com since he was teenager! Bob James and Paul Hardcastle fans will be smitten by Fritzén. The tasty "Temple of Dreams" is the first single, but I'm also very fond of the urban groove track "Back 2 The Club," the sensually cinematic, "Midnight Secrets," and the hooky "Like A Star." LOVE BIRDS soars!

This CD turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me. When I first played it I simply could not put it down. Every track is well done. This man has a real gift with the keyboards.

The CD has funk, ballads, uptempto, and charimatic tunes. The music is uplifting and fresh. He has a style all his own. Whenever I put in this CD anyone listening is so enamored that end up in awe. A Great CD for playing anytime.

In this album Jonathan has manage to bring out several feelings, Love Birds has a great touch that makes one hooked right away. Midnight Secrets give me a mixed feeling of suspense and mystery. I like this album very much and recommends it as a must to have in the soft jazz collection.

I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO KNOW IF THEY WERE ALL GOING TO BE SHIPPED TOGETHER NOT THIS BIG GAP IN BETWEEN AND WHY IS THERE SUCH A GAP ANYWAY? I AM A JAZZ MAN AND FUNK MAN AND HIS MUSIC HAS BOTH AS A MATTER OF FACT HIS JAZZ RATES #1 IN MY BOOK

this artist is new to me however, his music is
outstanding. I will continue to purchase his music.

Amazingly beautiful lovesongs. Fritzen makes love to the keyboard and you can feel it it in the music.

This CD is probably one of the best I've heard in years! Great, new different smooth jazz...exactly what I've been seeking for a long-time. Fritzen is one of the best, bar none. Ladies love this CD!!!! V.I.P. IS EVEN BETTER...play it to and from work all the time. Both cd's are incorporated into my MP3 player as well. Fantastic artist! Can't wait until his next release.
