Charley Langer

Intelligent smooth jazz. Think "Phil Woods meets Boney James”. So far, the reviews are very postitive:

“Charley Langer doesn't waste these tracks. If you take the time to listen, each one reveals a different side of his musical personality...What we see here is a jazz musician as jack of all trades, and a darn good one, to boot.” - Dan MacIntosh, Indie-Music.com; critic for CMJ, Paste, Spin, and others

“Just downloaded Never The Same, and it's awesome! I referred you to a few other jazz enthusiasts upon hearing it. If you're ever in Kansas City or Columbia (MO), please let me know!” - Robin

“I can't stop listening to your album. It keeps getting better. I am now a SUPER fan.” - Nikki

"Saxophonist Charley Langer has assembled a fantastic group of accomplished musicians for his debut album Never the Same. This is not the typical jazz compilation of artists but rather an awesome blend of classic rock, peppered with jazz with a hint of classical... Never the Same is an excellent album and a real treat for listeners who crave something new and exciting from the same old same old “smooth jazz” genre." - Kelly O'Neil, ReviewYou.com; staff writer for CCM, U and CrossWalk magazines.

Comparison: Paul Desmond, Dave Koz, Phil Woods, Kenny G, Grover Washington, Jr.
Influence: Paul Desmond, David Sanborn, Tom Scott, Phil Woods, Grover Washington, Jr.
