AVIDIGI

This album rates as one of the finest new releases I've heard this year. It's packed with some killer smooth jazz tunes and some delicious grooves. My own highlights from the album include the title track "Orient Bay", the beautiful "Prelude To A Kiss" and the soulful grooves of "Fountain Blue" and "Climbing Highs". "Please Don't Ask" also proves to be a great choice to receive the smooth jazz treatment, providing you with a gorgeous rendition of this Phil Collins / Genesis classic. A great surprise too was the addition of the MP3 bonus track "Smooth Nights" which, with it's incredibly catchy groove, is equally as fantastic as the 15 cuts which made it on to the album itself. The short samples provided here should give you a taster of what to expect. Needless to say, if you're into smooth jazz you'll absolutely love this album! On the whole, it reminded me a little of Oli Silk's album "So Many Ways" in terms of it's style and how I was hooked from the very first listen! Congratulations Tomazz, I'm already looking forward to your next project....-- Steve Martin

“Orient Bay” is a collection of sexy smooth jazz tracks featuring a combination of piano and classic analog synthesizer leads. Elements of jazz, classical, latin and funk influences play throughout the CD.
The music was inspired by the beauty of St. Martin/Nether Antilles. As you travel towards the French side of St. Martin from Grand Case you come across a magnificent view of Orient Bay. Picturesque flowers, pastel rooftops and a serene ocean begins to overwhelm your soul as you descend down the winding road.
Listen, relax and enjoy! -- Tomazz
