National recording artist Art Ruprecht became a spiritually driven force in the realm of gospel inflected Smooth Jazz with his 2018 album CAST YOUR CARE, which ranked #22 on Smoothjazz.com’s TOP 100 Album Chart for 2019. On the vibrant, instantly catchy, pocket funk jam, “Peace Meal," the versatile Joe Pass/George Benson influenced guitarist creates an explosive melodic duality with the hard driving sax of Fred Middlekauff on the hook, then breaks twice for extended, intricate electric string improvisations that take the track to a jazzier, almost surreal artistic level. The cleverly titled "Peace Meal" is a welcome romp in the world of Smooth, taking our current climate a degree or two warmer!
