Legendary saxophonist and music icon Johnny James Dr J has released his new EP, “How Deep Is Your Love,” which is being well-received by critics and music enthusiasts alike.

Johnny James Dr J has traveled the world performing to sold out venues with his brand of soulful smooth Jazz

Over the past four decades Dr J has been a major contributor to modern music and has helped define what quality music is for generations to come.

Johnny James Dr J assembled a dream team of the greatest musicians in the industry to produce a project that’s already creating a buzz on several continents.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Smooth Jazz is a musical genre that has long since anchored itself in the music industry as an undeniably relevant and powerful medium that spans across all demographics. With lush, harmonious vocals; laid back grooves that anyone could dance to, or at least tap their foot or snap their fingers to; and world-class musicians who showcase their instrumental skills, this facet of the industry has enjoyed widespread appeal across the globe.

Whether its the clean, shimmering musical flow of a legendary guitarist, or the skillfully crafted melodies and silky masterful riffs of a world-class saxophonist, the Smooth Jazz genre is cross-culturally distinct and diverse enough to please the musical palettes of everyone. And with the impact instrumentalists have felt from the influence of Jazz Fusion, it’s not uncommon to hear elements of Hip Hop and Rap in Smooth Jazz circles now.

The phenomenal new release of “How Deep Is Your Love,” the smoking hot EP from world-renowned Smooth Jazz extraordinaire, Johnny James Dr J, provides all of these things and then some. Dr J has once again created a sound that rises above an ocean of great artists, and reaffirms his position as one of the greatest who’s ever done it! Click on “IT’S DEEP” now to get your copy of this outstanding new recording!

The fact that Johnny James Dr J can put all of these diverse elements together and present a superior recording that is both cohesive and seamless is a feat in and of itself. But centering it around a 70’s classic… reintroducing yesterday’s monster hit song back into today’s cutting-edge music industry relevance…is yet another feather in Dr J’s cap. This recording is musically thoughtful and intrinsically inviting. “How Deep Is Your Love” is a must have for Jazz enthusiasts as well as lovers of all music.

“It’s been quite some time that my organization has been this excited about an EP release,” says Daniel Musgrove, founder and CEO of Musgrove Music Distribution. “To resurrect a song with such depth and global impact, and then re-insert it into the mainstream with such refreshing interpretations, is an amazing achievement on behalf of Mr. James. Musgrove Music Distribution is both delighted and honored for our involvement in this project.”

When asked why he chose “How Deep Is Your Love” to do a cover, Dr J had much to say. “First off, The Bee Gees is one of my favorite music groups from the 70’s. “How Deep Is Your Love” is my all-time favorite song by them, and in my opinion…one of the trio’s most beautiful ballads ever recorded. And hey…how powerful is it to ask that question to someone who you are in a serious relationship with: “How deep is your love?” It’s an incredible question to ask, and an amazing ballad to match.”

In the 80’s, during Dr J’s tenure as a member of Epic Records’ Pop-Dance group Will To Power, the group achieved international notoriety with their Peter Frampton/Lynyrd Skynyrd medley “Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley.” This song was at the No. 1 spot for a week on the Billboard Hot 100, and reached No. 2 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart. In the UK, the song reached No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart. By the end of 1988, Will To Power’s self-titled album reached No. 68 on the Billboard 100 album chart. Over the next forty years, Dr J would travel the world as a solo artist, fronting his own bands and establishing his name in the music industry. In the interim, he has released multiple recordings which have received rave reviews and are highly acclaimed in the music industry.

During his career, Dr J has connected with and befriended a Who’s Who of prominent, accomplished music industry giants, of which several of whom have lent their skills toward his recording projects over the years. We can see that the “How Deep Is Your Love” project is no exception. Jeff Lorber, a Grammy Award winning keyboardist, plays keys on the project; Lorber has worked with industry legends such as Dave Koz, Eric Benet, and Herb Alpert to name a few; and Lorber is also credited for introducing saxophonist Kenny G to the mainstream. Darryl Tookes, who has done vocal work with the likes of Quincy Jones, David Foster, Sting, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, and Christina Aguilera (to name a few), performs vocals on the EP’s ‘Vocal Mix’ track. Chadwick Watkins is credited for his work on the EP’s “A W Remix,” and as an accomplished musician in his own right, he is credited with performing at Showtime At The Apollo; The White House; ‘America’s Got Talent’; BET’s ‘Bobby Jones Gospel’; and he has also performed extensively throughout the U.S., Europe, Africa, South-East Asia, and the Caribbean. And the late great legendary guitarist Chuck Loeb, who in his career received three Grammy Award nominations for his work in music, makes a posthumous appearance as a featured musician on this project.

Dr J also features an original track called “Jizay” on the EP, as well as a remix of his previously released song, “Slippin.” In his own words, “I have a little something for everybody in this project. The people have been asking for more music for some time, and I’m more than happy to provide it to them. And there’s much more to come.”

Search begins today for nation’s top linebacker; celebration event planned for January 2024

BUTKUS AWARD^® 39th SEASON WATCH LIST ANNOUNCED
Search begins today for nation’s top linebacker; celebration event planned for January 2024

The 39th annual Butkus Award^® selection process for the top linebackers in the country got underway today with the release of the collegiate preseason watch list.

The number of linebackers on the watch list, 51, is a nod to the storied “51” pro jersey worn by the award’s namesake, Dick Butkus, who was named by NFL Films as the greatest defensive player in football history. The Butkus Award recognizes the best linebackers in football.

Candidates for the college Butkus Award are on the watch list from 44 schools, including a previous finalist: Jamon Dumas-Johnson of Georgia and the two recurring semifinalists: Ohio State’s Tommy Eichenberg and UConn’s Jackson Mitchell. The Big Ten leads all conferences with 12 representatives, followed by the SEC with 11. Teammates from seven schools – Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State – have been named to the list and all 10 Division I FBS conferences are represented. The list also features one FCS player.

The award semifinalists are expected to be named Oct. 30 with finalists to follow Nov. 20. The winner will be named on or before Dec. 6. Appearing on the watch list is not a requirement to win the award.

“I am always excited about seeing our great watch list players on the field,” said Butkus, the College and Pro Football Hall of Famer. “When an outstanding player receives the Butkus Award he will know two things: First, he is recognized as the best of the best linebackers in America; Second, and in the long run most important, he will understand this recognition brings a responsibility of giving back.”

All 2023 Butkus Award winners will be honored at a televised event in Jan. 2024. BTN (the Big Ten Network) aired the event last season, featuring Butkus and numerous noted NFL Alumni. To watch the show online via YouTube, click here.

Founded in 1985, the Butkus Award honors linebackers at three levels while supporting causes important to the Butkus family. Causes include the Butkus Takes Heart™ initiative encouraging early cardiovascular screening among adults, and the I Play Clean^® initiative encouraging athletes to train naturally without performance-enhancing drugs.

A 51-member expert panel of coaches, scouts, and journalists guides the selection process. Past winners of the collegiate award include such greats as Patrick Willis, Von Miller, Luke Kuechly, Devin White, Roquan Smith and many more. The Butkus Award is increasingly focused on recognizing linebackers who consistently play off the ball on their feet in a two-point stance in traditional form.

The Butkus Awards will be unveiling a new trophy design for this year’s recipients. Designed by renowned sculptor George Lundeen, whose works include the Red Grange and Dick Butkus statues outside Memorial Stadium at the University of Illinois.

Jack Campbell of Iowa was the 2022 recipient. The 18th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions was also the recipient of the National Football Foundation’s prestigious William V. Campbell Trophy, annually awarded to college football’s top scholar-athlete.

The watch list for the 2023 Butkus Award for high school players will be released later this month. The Butkus Award watch list will be posted on the new Butkus Award website, thebutkusaward.com, powered by American Eagle, a global website development and digital marketing agency.
