When Scott O’Brien from smoothjazz.com dubbed Quintin Gerard W. a ” Smooth Jazz Star,” he got the “Star” part right, but “Smooth” is only one part of the equation for this romantic and highly rhythmic player who rightly brands himself “The FnkySax Player.” In defining what he does, the versatile composer and performer mentions elements of funk, R&B, gospel, blues and jazz, and all these textures are wonderfully and amply represented on his latest album – Cleared For Takeoff. – Jonathan Widran
