Many years ago, Marc Antoine exploded onto the jazz scene with a fresh, new sound that changed the face of smooth jazz radio. Today, Marc Antoine continues to reinvent himself, and with his stunning new CD, Modern Times, he provides us a glimpse into the future of contemporary jazz. This time around, the organic nylon string guitar is complemented by dance, chill and funk samples. At times, Marc's signature acoustic sound is replaced with super-charged, mind-altering, jazz-fusion electric guitar solos that might make Pat Metheny think twice about challenging the musical abilities of smooth jazz artists. Rendezvous. 2005.
