The PennZone

NEWARK, N.J. - PennZone -- Saxophonist Ski Johnson premieres his historic Jazz for Life album on May 21. Top 10 Billboard Songwriter Chilly Ed Beats produced Ski's highly anticipated 10th album that features award-winning vocalists Emerald Khan and PhillinMe.

"We worked together to create an album from scratch, which made it personal," said Ed. "Ski and I were on one accord throughout the creative process, understood each other musically, and shared similar vibes." Ed went on to describe Ski as someone who's not afraid to try new things musically and doesn't shy away from originality. What sets Ski's new album apart from previous works is that it's edgier, and he took a big chance by doing something different.

"I can say that Jazz for Life is my best album that everyone can relate to," said Johnson. "It redefines jazz music with messages about disloyalty, love, and success."
