Louie Shelton

Hot & Spicy, Louie Shelton's debut Sin-Drome Records album, introduces a refreshing new flavor to the world of contemporary jazz. Seasoning includes the impeccable talents of Jimmy Seals, Dash Crofts, Jim Horn, and Lua Crofts. This album is the culmination of Louie's 30-year musical journey as a master guitarist, composer, and producer.

From the gentle melody of Midnight Rain to the smokey, sensual vocals of Lua Crofts on Better Days, and through the fiery heat of Jim Horn's sax on hot & spicy, this album cooks. Jim Seals and Dash Crofts add a secret ingredient with their soulful rendition of Love Takes No Prisoners. Our mouths water at the sweetness of Night Cruise; we move to the lifting rythm of, and Lua Crofts punctuating vocals on, Love Mystifies; and we listen with anticipation to the haunting call of Serengeti.

For those who cherish the wine of quintessential NAC, Satin Dreams is the definition of Smooth Jazz.

Louie Shelton's debut on Sin-Drome Records is a veritable jazz lover's feast, with a little added spice.
