The music of "Blue Knights" is cool, contemporary jazz. The piano is moody, the sax is sexy and the guitar stings and teases. A follow-up release to their chart-topping Blue Night, the music of "Blue Knights" is music for jazz fans as well as New Age music lovers.
The uptempo beat guides "Blue Knights" relaxed fusion jazz sound but can be just as adaptable to the dance floor. The music is complex, offering numerous interpretations, but never becomes overly serious. A line here and a note there remind the listener that jazz is serious fun.
Curtis McLaw, producer of "Blue Knights", "Dancing Fantasy" and "Colors In Motion".
1992 the first album of your cooperation with Jay Heye (Blue Knights - Blue Night). How was this project developed?
I first met Jay Heye 1992. He played piano in smoky clubs at night. Some of his titles already had the spirit of "Blue Knights ". I told him about the success in USA, at that time California Groove had landed at number 6 of the Billboard-Charts. I had an idea, that I couldn't realize with "Dancing Fantasy". The project should be more groove-oriented and a guitar or a piano should be put in as main-instrument. Since until then Jay Heye is the absolutely most groovy pianist that I have heard, he fited into my ideas wonderfully. He is a solid component of "Blue Knights" from the beginning. Without Jay Heye, I probably would still be on the search. We reached with the second album "Red Night", number 15 in the USA Billboard-Charts. The most played song is still „Soft Silk“ with the amazing guitar by Bill Joseph Flynn. It is also unbelievable how many stations are still playing this song. I had already suspected that during the production.
Curtis McLaw had the honor of meeting the great Martin Böttcher who since his childhood is his absolute favorite composer of filmmusic.
