WILLIE BRADLEY

• IT’S MY TIME

(Willie Bradley Music) Bold, yet simultaneously charming; edgy, yet at the same time beautiful. These seemingly opposing adjectives might well-describe the music of artist-trumpeter Willie Bradley, but also fittingly tell about the man! Bradley’s music brings together many varied styles, but takes smooth jazz to a whole new level. Check out his latest release, It’s My Time.

BRAXTON BROTHERS • “Catalina Nights” (single)

(Braxton Productions) Twin brothers Wayne and Nelson Braxton, whose 25-year career started with a No. 1 hit, are topping the charts again! “Catalina Nights,” currently No. 3 on Billboard’s national airplay chart, with a bullet, is up-tempo, ’80s R&B-inspired, melodic and infectiously grooving. With such success on-air, “Catalina Nights” will now take the live stage, with new tour dates being added.

GIL

• “Starting All Over Again” (single)

(Gilbert Steven Johnson) My producer AyRon Lewis composed the music to this song 10 years ago. He recently asked if I could write lyrics for it, and in 45 minutes I had the hook. We are fortunate to have Tom Braxton and Doc Powell playing with us. I feel like that is where I am in life now since losing my wife.
