Galaxy Lounge: Reviews

The debut project from Galaxy Lounge features a luxurious soundscape of rich, melodic, loungey and jazzy instrumentals, some laced with sparkling vocalizing that range from soulful to sultry. WELCOME TO THE PARTY is the perfect balance of Smooth Jazz and Lounge music… think Paul Hardcastle meets Moby.

... this classy, cosmopolitan collection of sophisticated songs that celebrate and combine the spacious vibe of Chill with the tastefulness of Jazz. Galaxy Lounge has everything it needs to make a big impression on these two popular, Global genres.

‘... Welcome To The Party’, is a delicious blend of smooth jazz and lounge music with tracks that have already caught the attention of the syndicated radio show ‘Chill With Mindi Abair’ as well as smooth jazz stations across the USA.

... Over the years a plethora of contemporary jazz artists have, each in their own way, tipped a hat to the great Wes Montgomery and here the outstandingly smooth ‘Heading Wes’ proves to be Grindstaff’s own tribute to the legendary guitar ace. It is without doubt the CD’s best track and provides one more reason why ‘Welcome to the Party’ is one to watch.

My kudos to Jon Grindstaff's debut album. This journey into smooth jazz and lounge is really refreshing and hip.
