Do you need a jazzy song to elevate your events? ‘Wijic’ is the one to kick off any formal occasion or black-tie gathering you are hosting. It also fits as part of your ‘chill’, the upbeat playlist you have to work, do chores or just lay back and relax.
The song lasts for over six precious minutes, throughout which we get to enjoy a great range of cheerful rhythms of classic swing jazz.
The composition consists of a quartet headed by Sky Canyon on vibraphone and an A-list of players Justin Adams on piano, Ron Bland on upright bass, and Mike Marlier on drums.
It’s upbeat, has a catchy melody, great solos, and a terrific groove. That’s why there’s no wonder why Wijic has already +29K streams on Spotify, while other previous songs by Sky Canyon like ‘Subtle Approach’ has +32K streams, ‘Bluesalicious’ +22K, and ‘You Know That I’ve Loved You (For a Long, Long Time)’ has +27K streams.
US-based Sky Canyon doesn’t just have a smooth name and a polished taste for music composing. He is a veteran of over 50 years in music: a composer, producer, and artist who creates magic by fusing Jazz, Classical, Latin, Rock, and new age music.
From an early age and after having studied with Jazz vibraphone master Terry Gibbs, Sky has, up to today, produced best-selling albums in the new age genre. However, nowadays is back to his roots, releasing jazz originals and classic standards.
Wijic has definitely won our hearts with its smooth, effortless beat. This is a song that knows how to coordinate different sounds while at the same time allowing for each instrument to stand out.
From beginning to end, this track captivates your attention and unapologetically has you grooving and dancing. It is a song to play on replay, share with fellow Jazz and Swing passionates, and play on repeat whenever you need a pick me up while also feeling all zippy and chic.
