Tim Bowman - Paradise (1998)

PARADISE, the second album by smooth-jazz guitarist Tim Bowman, was originally released in 1998. Bowman's crisp, stylish electric and acoustic guitar, heavily influenced by his smooth-jazz forebears Earl Klugh, George Benson, and Wes Montgomery, is best heard on tastefully mellow tracks like "Paradise" and "Light of Love." The closing track, "Lord Move the Mountain," features a gospel choir led by Vickie Winans.
