When SmoothJazzNow requested an interview with jazz trumpeter Mark Rapp, he didn't shy away; rather, Rapp jumped on the opportunity to promulgate his approach in bridging the world's of Modern and Smooth Jazz.
While most any modern jazz player does everything in their power to separate and distant themselves from anything “smooth" and often having an immediate physical reaction to the word itself, Rapp remains open to the genre - all genres of instrumental music for that fact--exploring, enhancing and embracing the worthy qualities of each.
Editor and writer Akbar Nour asks refreshingly insightful and formidable questions and Rapp comprehensively answers. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised at what lies within.
