The Best Of Richard Elliot

The Best Of Richard Elliot

Richard Elliot is one of the brightest stars in the smooth jazz galaxy. While working with the seminal jazz powerhouse group, Tower of Power, Richard made his solo debut in 1986 with TROLLTOWN! The saxo-phonist put out records with modest expectations and harbored no grand illusions that it would lead to a solo career. With his third album POWER OF SUGGESTION, a group of radio stations that played instrumental pop music sprouted across the U.S. and Richard instantly became a format star with his classic rendition of "When A Man Loves A Woman" taken from the TAKE TO THE SKIES set. The saxophonist blew into the nineties with several releases that sold over 100,000 units. He landed his fourth #1 album with 1997's JUMPIN' OFF, legitimizing King Richard's claim to the New Adult Contemporary (NAC) throne. <P> THE BEST OF RICHARD ELLIOTT features 15 tracks taken from eight top-selling Smooth Jazz albums.
