“Bring It On”
Chris Jansen X Michael James
Featuring Eric Colvin

Our new single, Bring It On, is an instrumental Jazz Rock Fusion tune inspired by the golden age of the genre, when artists like Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton and Joe Sample filled the airwaves with sophisticated yet soulful melodies and driving rhythms. This composition is a heartfelt tribute to all women. We’re inspired by their amazing strength, resilience and empathy. We strive toward that day when true equality is realized. Only then will the world realize its true potential. It’s time. Bring it on! - CJ x MJ

Releases today (1/9).
