Highroller

In this edition of Saturday Music Pick, I am featuring a track from the album, Weekend in Monaco, by The Rippingtons.

"Highroller" is the eighth track out of nine on Weekend in Monaco.  I find this to be a bold placement because "Highroller" is profoundly upbeat and blends a sense of groove and smooth jazz.  In fact, if there were lyrics in "Highroller," you might forget the song really is in the smooth jazz genre.

Okay, a mix of entertainment mediums.  Raise your hand if you are a fan of the television series, Seinfeld (of course now in syndication).  As a fan, do you ever catch a very brief musical note before the opening of episodes later in the series?  If you do, "Highroller" is reminiscent of that note near the end of the song - in the 4:00 minute range.

Listen closely to both and let me know what you think!
