Smooth Jazz Vision

2. Room 504

Smooth Jazz Volume 1 is the first collection in a brand-new series from KJD Music, offering listeners an hour of warm, relaxing jazz pulled straight from our private vault. These tracks have never been released on streaming platforms and are available here exclusively for our SoundCloud audience.

Since sharing our catalog for the first time in November, KJD Music has reached over 100,000 listeners across more than 50 countries — a global wave of support that inspired this new vault series. This album captures the mellow side of our sound: soft grooves, gentle melodies, and late-night textures designed to help you unwind, focus, reflect, or simply enjoy the moment.

Every track in Smooth Jazz Volume 1 comes from sessions that shaped the early identity of KJD Music. Some were polished, some experimental, all of them created with the same love for smooth, soulful jazz that continues to guide our work today. Whether you’re discovering us for the first time or you’ve been following our journey from the beginning, this collection is meant to feel like a personal invitation into our creative world.

Thank you for listening, sharing, and supporting independent music. Your plays help us release even more from the vault — new projects, old sessions, and the jazz stories that haven’t been heard until now.

Press play, relax, and enjoy the smooth side of KJD Music.

The core quartet of Chris, Ben, Antonio, and me played more than 100 concerts over the year that followed the release of our Unity Band record. Over the course of that period, the band became one of those rare combinations of players where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts; it gelled in every way, and that just seemed to beg for expansion and further research.” He continues, “Simultaneously, I had been itching to write using more of a lush and orchestrated kind of concept that went beyond the sonic limits of what a straight-ahead quartet might invoke. But I really didn’t want to lose the energy, focus, and intensity of what this band had developed. I wanted to take it further. If the first Unity Band record was a thoughtful, black and white documentary of four musicians in a recording studio playing, this record is more like the Technicolor, IMAX version of what a band like this could be—but with that hardcore thing still sitting right in the middle of it all.
