Biography

KICK BACK JUST RELAX

The "Kick Back Just Relax" release is a 4 year project of pianist Bryon Tosoff who composed all songs and performed on all tracks Artists who assisted Bryon on a few tracks are percussionist Ted Tosoff as well as Sax and Bass Player Paul Wainwright. Other artists involved in the project were Duane Flock and Dolores Paradise on the song It's Time.

Paul Wainwright is the featured artist on the title track "Kick Back Just Relax" and provided superb sax and horn sections and underpinned it all with a fantastic driving bass line.

Other songs such as Midnight Rendezvous, Moonlight Stroll and Starlight Serenade have wonderful melodies that are refreshing and relaxing. There is some great sax work by Paul Wainwright and wonderful piano playing all topped off with sweet string sections that give the compositions that 40's and 50's style of songcrafting.

Guitarist Duane Flock provides some killer Carlos Santana style work on Lo Ryders as he shreds it out brilliantly and gives the song an edgy dynamic blues rock fusion vibe. It is one of my favorites on the album.

Bryon does some outstanding acoustic piano work on his original composition "In Flight" and lays down a Spanish influenced jazz track entitled "Moods" which will knock you out with the intriguing guitar sounds performed on a Roland Fantom keyboard.

Ted Tosoff was the engineer and producer behind the scenes who added all those special touches and treatments that gives the album its unique sound and vibrancy.
