Marion Meadows - "Just Doing Me" - Shanachie

Just Doing Me, Marion’s most intimate and heartfelt album to date, takes the listener on a sensuous journey through a soundscape of brilliant original compositions and masterful improvisations. The album is produced by Marion’s long-time collaborator, Chris “Big Dog” Davis (Will Downing, Gerald Albright, Maysa), Wirlie Morris (Norman Brown, Charlie Wilson), and Paul Brown (Boney James, Peter White)! Highlights include the deeply sensuous “Pink Glass,” the funky and spirited “Say What,” and much more! This album is both the culmination of Marion Meadows’ artistic journey and a reflection of his contemporary vision. To pigeonhole him as merely a smooth jazz artist is far too reductive. Beyond music, he is also a painter, and his artworks can be found on his website.
