The Aston Grey Project a smooth jazz band formed by music industry vet Chris Clay back in 2012. With a strong urge to challenge himself to create the music he loves the Aston Grey Project came into existence. The band released it's very first CD in 2013 titled the Chill Lounge. The CD spun a couple of radio hits "Groovin and Your smile". in early 2014 the band went back into the lab to start working on concepts for the new CD Changing The Game.

The ideas was flowing like a river and the band was off to recording after 4 months the band achieved 38 concept records all aimed for this new CD. Here's the result, 15 of the very best songs from those sessions. We promises that in this 15 tracks your hear the growth of the band from a musical and writing standpoint.

Early response to this CD has been nothing less than great. At EVERY listening session, everyone in the room was ready to line up and purchase the compact disc. Even though the music wasn't for sale at that time it really made the guys feel like they nailed it. Now you have the opportunity to be apart of the this sophomore offering from the Aston Grey Project.
