Smooth Praise

Saxophonist Sam Levine combines two popular music forms to create something new and fresh. The result of taking today's most popular Praise and Worship songs and presenting them in a "smooth jazz" musical setting is an uplifting instrumental collection and the perfect soundtrack for life's daily grind.

Nashville studio musicians know Sam Levine as one of the busiest woodwind players in town. In one day he might play saxophone for a country artist, flute or penny whistle for a gospel artist and clarinet in a traditional jazz band. His playing has given color and expression to a wide variety of artists' tracks, including Amy Grant, the Neville Brothers, Vince Gill and Michael McDonald. He is known for his reliable ensemble skills and his melodic, expressive solos. Sam has more than 10 artist CDs in the smooth jazz and contemporary Christian genres. He has been nominated three times for a Dove Award and played on at least two Grammy Award winning recordings.
