From the liner notes by Dr. Judith Schlesinger:

"Sky Jazz" is Richard Shulman's new genre of music. Recorded by his North Carolina trio, it combines the traditional jazz elements of harmony, pulse, and improvisation with the deliberate goal of soothing and inspiring the listener. Full of melody and swing, the music delights on its own, while helping people to relax, meditate, and even heal. ... one thing is sure: this CD will take you on a wonderful journey.
