In Rainbows - From The Album: Smile. Peter Whites 14th studio effort, 2014s Smile, features more of the British guitarists romantic, uplifting smooth jazz. This is Whites third album of all-original material following 2009s Good Day and 2012s Here We Go. Joining White here is a bevy of big-name guest artists, including vocalist Mindi Abair, trumpeter Rick Braun, saxophonist Euge Groove, and others. Also backing White are such longtime collaborators as keyboardist Philippe Saisse, bassist Nate Phillips, and percussionist Ramon Yslas. Whites original approach to smooth jazz has worked quite well for him, and Smile is no exception. As the title implies, these are largely upbeat, brightly melodic tunes that showcase Whites knack for airy, often Latin-influenced songs that soar on his crisp guitar lines. We also get plenty of groove-oriented, R&B-infused cuts like Head Over Heels, Hold Me Close, and the layered, trip-hop-infused Beautiful Love. White also achieves a pleasant balance between the acoustic, electric, and electronic sounds on the album that never moves too far in any one direction. Instead, each song is deftly arranged with just the right instrumentation and improvisation to keep things interesting. Ultimately, by sticking to his own material on Smile, White has offered something new and engaging that will certainly appeal to new and longtime fans alike. ENJOY THIS TUNE !!! https://youtube/watch?v=7k1tYfXgGMY
