The Brew - Rio Vista (1995) [Full Album HQ] {Jazz Fusion/Smooth Jazz}

Описание: Oh yes, it's rare album time once again! This time I have an interesting group that I discovered on a KAJZ 93.3 FM compilation CD out of all things (shoutout to Antone's Record Shop for the bargain deal). I went immediately to look up more from The Brew after "Latin Cruise" started playing, but I was surprised to find that none of their recordings were available on any streaming service. They do have a website where you can buy their music and learn more about the group (https://www.brewmusic.com). Also, many of The Brew's more recent performances at local Austin venues can be found online. However, I felt like this album needed to be shared here in full for more people to appreciate. Definitely support this awesome family band from Texas if you can!
