专辑简介

About a year after releasing my first project, I started thinking about what I would do for my second album. A lot of my favorite saxophonists have all done cover projects, but initially I didn't put much thought into doing one myself. Then one day I was listening to Maceo Parker's Roots & Grooves. On this project he covered the works of Ray Charles. As I was listening to the project I began to think, "If I were to do a cover project, who would I cover?" I wanted to do a cover project on an artist whose work I'm a fan, that would prove challenging, and is extremely talented at what they do. Then it hit me. Justin Timberlake! The fact that we have the same first name just made it seem like a match made in heaven. I've always been a fan of Justin Timberlake since he debuted with NSYNC, and his solo work has been nothing short of phenomenal! So I set out to conquer the challenge of covering the works of Justin Timberlake, and Justin X Justin was born. To me a good cover song/project pays respect and honors the original, but it also has your own personal flair to it. We took his pop and R & B sensibilities and added my love of funk and hip hop to it, and I think you'll love the results!
