Published: July 16, 2016, 8 p.m.

Skinny Hightower is a smooth jazz pianist who is known for his keen ability to draw influences from other genres of music, claiming that he doesn't listen to smooth jazz. \xa0Nonetheless, the result is a smooth, complex blend some where in between R&B, jazz, and soul. \xa0Skinny started out playing drums as a young child, later developing an ear for piano, bass and guitar. \xa0He recorded his first song at nine years old and realized that he'd found a niche in song writing and recording. \xa0 As years progressed, Skinny continued recording smooth jazz and has since worked with numerous artists behind the scenes as a producer. \xa0Skinny Hightower's release "Cloud Nine"\xa0is his first effort, a powerful series of songs that should fit perfectly into anyone's smooth jazz collection.\n\n\xa0\n\nFollow Skinny Hightower\xa0on Facebook, Twitter\xa0and Instagram.
