The Love Suggestions series are entitled Piano Night and Guitar Night. This year Konstantin Klashtorni will probably release Sax Night. That sounds like one instrument on each album in the lead.

Konstantin comments꞉ “True, that was my idea, it's like a piano, guitar and sax player each recorded an album in the same vein. By the way, those are 3 instruments I like to feature on all my releases, I like the combination of different instruments a lot, depending on mood and kind of arrangement. I find it quite boring when only one instrument is playing hole song long, no matter how good it is.

I believe people like a variety very much, by the way in the mean of time I've learned a bit to listen music with "normal" people's ears, just a bit! Wish I could do it much better to understand what Jazz music people like most and why.″

The starter It's Our Time invites the audience with a full-bodied ear catcher. The rhythm has the charm of Dr. Hook's Sexy Eyes and the melody is based on the duet principle. The lovely ballad Stay shares the attractive melody between acoustic and electric guitar and a warm pulsing flute.

Carriers of the musical message on Life Is Love are guitar and piano with a gentle approach to your soul. The romantic element is the common denominator on the instrumental union of Little Talks. Overdubbed sax, acoustic guitar and sassy synth lines are melting in an digestible amalgam. The sweet lullaby Put You to Bed creates a cozy atmosphere.

The blazing Can't Hold Us smiles with seductive tasteful guitar sounds while the piano forms a lively counterweight to these riffs. With I Need Your Love the album reaches a first summit of loveliness. Soprano sax, guitar and synth sounds mingles to an infectious brew.

What kind of instruments Konstantin elects, doesn't matter. The result is always an astounding melody like on Counting Stars, where he perfectly pairs sax and acoustic guitar. The steady Wake Me Up is surprising with different music groups especially with a phenomenal horn arrangement. More than six minutes entertainment are passing with ease.

On The Next Morning Konstantin is swelling crystal clear notes fine tempered for the listeners pleasure. The album closes with the sexy charmer The Way balanced between sax and guitar.

Konstantin Klashtorni tirelessly establishes with Guitar Night the ideal audible environment for the best moment with the admitted lover by using carefully selected melodies and instruments to reach this mission.

Love Suggestions - Sax Night

10. Don't Want You Back (4:39)
11. Million Reasons (3:53)

Multi-instrumentalist Konstantin Klashtorni has designed the Love Suggestions series for lovers to spend nice evenings together. The main emphasis is on one instrument in the foreground without neglecting other instruments. That in mind he already released Piano Night in 2013 and Guitar Night in 2014. Now he returns with the long-awaited Sax Night.

With a romantic and melodious approach he creates R&B oriented smooth jazz with that certain twist. Listening to the first notes of Thick of It brings back in mind, what we miss since the release of his latest album in 2016. With the perfect balance of flavor coming out of the land of rhythm and groove Konstantin creates with sax, flute and guitar the magical melody line.

There Goes My Baby rides on an emotional wave incorporating gospel elements and some retro feeling. Sax and guitar are living in a fine neighborhood. The sweeping ballad Shape of You reunites flute and sax to a deceptively accessible celestial arrangement. Don't Wanna Know flows in a coherent fluid music stream that is smooth like Italian ice cream.

That's What I Like reveals a beautiful melody, which has already been heard in one way or another. Nothing to bother about with the exception of the desperate desire to find the similar sounding piece. I would opt for Stevie Wonder. Now relax and sit back to listen to the mellifluously seductive sax on U + Me.

She Lovin It reveals Konstantin's uncanny virtuosity of working at a chromatic harmonic level and arrangement weaving an irresistible tapestry of sax and keys. Back 2 Life is another charming melody intertwining with a lightness of touch flute and sax. Better Man slows down the pace to soothing moments.

The harshness of the title Don't Want You Back stands in diametrical contrast to the grace of the saxophone-loaded melody. Million Reasons shines with spatial grandeur. Outstanding sax overdubs find their equivalent in an excellent arrangement.

Konstantin Klashtorni is the epitome of perfect smooth jazz. A courageous guardian of the better sound.http://www.smooth-jazz.de/firstview/LoveSuggestions/SaxNight.htm

1. Hey Girl (5:11)
2. Treasure (4:18)
3. Come & Get It (5:26)
4. What Makes You Beautiful (4:37)
5. Feel This Moment (4:24)

8. Clarity (4:34)
9. See You Again (4:37)
10. Mirrors (4:28)
11. My Kind Of Night (4:07)

Konstantin Klashtorni created this series for lovers to spend nice evenings together. Sax Night is the next to come out, probably this year. This collection is more R&B orientated. The first album of this series Piano Night was released in 2013.

Konstantin comments꞉ “I had in mind just a simple instrumental R&B style with nice melodies on it instead of repetitive, closer to rap melodies, R&B artists use to lay down. Smooth Jazz by itself is an instrumental R&B, but with much more elements of Funk, unlike straight SJ. I eliminate that "Funk" element, and instead I incorporate a nice romantic, melodious approach.″

Keeping that in mind the introducing Hey Girl enjoys with a mellifluous and fluid sound pitching the rhythm through a suburban undertone. Treasure comes with a whirring hum preparing the magic of the song marching to your ears.

Come & Get It shares the title with famous songs. This interpretation of the talking phrase remains unobtrusive supple. What Makes You Beautiful shines with a harmonious flute choir and smooth piano play embedded in silky strings. The ideal love present.

Konstantin has a keen sense for melodies flattering your ears like Feel This Moment. Consistent with the principles of harmony the song achieves its impression. It Goes Like This struts anew Konstantin's prowess featuring an array of great sonic synth sounds. Turn The Night Up is the melody for the moment, when you lead your partner down the path to happiness.

The addictive Clarity wallows gleefully in the synth sounds of the 80's. See You Again has the melodious approach of a soulful love ballad. Sometimes I miss this human component even with such a nice horn arrangement. Ancient cultures describe Mirrors as reflection of the shadow soul. Konstantin brings this darkness to the surface. My Kind Of Night struts along on a sax and synth infused vibe.

Piano Night Love Suggestions is a delightful alternative to Konstantin Klashtorni's own series. This album is created with the loving couple in mind.
