This is a perfect narrative of Art Sherrod, Jr.’s life and is a precise summary of his life and how his love for music and faith have been molded.
During Art’s four-year tenure as a midshipman attending the US Naval Academy, few people knew he was a musician. But shortly after his time at the academy, Art felt a strong desire to be creative again and step away from the more analytical side of life. So he started playing the saxophone again. Influenced by the likes of David Sanborn, Kirk Whalum, Gerald Albright, Kim Waters and other notables, he gained a great appreciation and respect for strong melodies, grooves, tone and soulful expressiveness. In 2005, Art released his freshman project entitled “All 4 Love” which featured an incredible arrangement of the Hall and Oates mega hit, Sara Smile.LIN ROUNTREEWEBSITELin Rountree aka The Soul-Trumpeter, is an accomplished recording artist, producer and live performer. With Eight Solo projects, 21 Chart Topping Billboard singles (Including FOUR Billboard #1 Hits) and numerous collaborations with some of the industry's top R&B/Contemporary Jazz artists to his credit he is a leading innovator in the newly recognized Instrumental Soul/R&B genre.“His hip vibe and soulful sound find a perfect fit here and is sure to assist in bringing the cool factor back to this genre....the future looks bright for contemporary jazz as we continue to attract fresh young artists of this caliber and Lin’s star will surely help light the way.” - TRIPPIN N RHYTHM RECORDS
