J-Mood
John Carrozza relocated to Atlanta from Florida in 1992 to work as a musician, producer and arranger for Twelve Oaks Studios. He has released a solo album called "Defining Moment", recorded a feature piano part on Boyz II Men's platinum album, "Evolution" and has been a featured soloist with Grammy winning guitar phenom Earl Klugh. John has composed and produced music for major corporations, such as Chick-Fil-A and Life Care Centers of America, and worked with countless label and indie artists at his studio; The Green Room, in Woodstock, GA.
Chicago native, Joe Reda, is at home playing funky electric bass or swinging an upright. He is a graduate of Millikin University and has studied at Chicago's Bloom School of Jazz. Mr. Reda currently works with numerous jazz artists in Atlanta including, to name a few, J-Mood, The Ruperts Orchestra, and the Jennifer Hanson Quartet.
Josh Crosby the percussionist for JMood, is also the lead audio engineer at The University of North Georgia College. Josh is experienced in many forms of drum set styles, orchestral percussion, marching percussion, latin & ethnic percussion. He is an accomplished percussion arranger and currently arranges percussion scores for many Georgia high schools and colleges thru out the year. Josh has played drums for Brown's Bridge Community Church, North Point Community Church, percussion for The Cherokee Choral, and occasionally sits in with the David Brothers Band.
Jennifer Carrozza has been a vocalist since her earliest years, professionally since 1995. Proudly an Atlanta native, she has released three solo projects, most recently "Rust & Velvet" and has fronted JMood since it's beginning in 2002. She has provided vocals and vocal arrangements for countless independent recordings, has been featured in commercials and had several major label and national-release projects. Jen has a voice that draws you in to the moment and has been described as velvet sandpaper. Upon hearing her, you'll likely come to the same conclusion.

In yesterday's Wall Street Journal, I wrote an essay on the history of easy-listening music and its 70th anniversary, which as you'd expect was completely overlooked (go here). Easy listening was meant to be overlooked. It's whole reason for being was to be there but never get in your way, engaging your emotions but not your brain. The father of easy listening is arranger Paul Weston, who at the end of May 1945 released what's considered the first easy listening ...

By Abhilasha Shah, PR/Communications Intern, University of Michigan. This post originally appeared on Shutterstock Blog. Imagine you're listening to a new song and deciding whether you like it.

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Every so often I receive an email from a reader asking whether I really dig easy listening music. My answer is this: Yes, selectively. So do all writers, secretly. Easy listening is the equivalent of a mental rubdown. While I spend most of my days writing and listening to jazz, rock and r&b recordings, there are times when I need to write and decompress at the same time. Or the weather is so miserable that a tranquil recording is what's ...
