Natural High - Pacific (2001)

Tim Best is a British born instrumentalist with a knack for creating large smooth jazz arrangements as a solo artist. With his band Natural High, Best conjures up a dance groove offering on his Higher Octave Music release, performing all the instrumental tasks himself. The music is textured with synth and a very up front drum machine that percolates in each tune. Tim Best definitely knows how to groove but his music sounds like a soundtrack to a date movie flick or a Sade composition with out her vocals or bass player. Smooth Jazz audiences will be split on how they interpret this grooving project. ~ JazzReview.com
