The CD is a tribute to &#8220;all of those saxophonists and musicians who go out there every night and give it their all&#8221; according to Meadows, who produced and co-wrote nine of the 11 songs on the recording.    He opens with &#8220;<i>Player&#8217;s Club<\/i>,&#8221; a dynamic, up tempo set that features Matt King on baritone saxophone in harmony with Meadows&#8217; soprano and tenor saxes. &#8220;Sweet Grapes,&#8221; is a smooth, sexy, urban groove that has Meadows&#8217; sweet soprano, tenor and bari saxes at the forefront. He is so smooth and definitely grooves. Then there&#8217;s &#8220;Romantica&#8221; a hot tune with plenty to offer his adoring female fans but unfortunately for the single ladies hoping to snare Mr. Meadows, sorry, he&#8217;s now taken. Marion pays tribute to his new bride Desi, with &#8220;Deska,&#8221; a sultry, romantic composition that has his soprano singing lovingly over a laid-back R&amp;B beat. This is definitely mood music: music that moves and grooves and entices you to lay back or get out on the dance floor. Either way, you can&#8217;t go wrong with <i>Player&#8217;s Club<\/i> because of the great music and sex appeal Marion Meadows exudes from start to finish.   <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> <font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-size:14px\">     <br \/>    Reprinted with permission of&#8230;<br \/><\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-size:14px\">     <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundsoftimelessjazz.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/sotjlogo.gif\" width=\"540\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a>     <\/font><\/p>\n<p>            <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/font><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marion Meadows Player&#8217;s Club(Heads Up &#8211; 2004) by Paula Edelstein<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3632\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
