The gentle rumble of
Julian Vaughn’s bass during the initial moments of “On Notice,” one of the curative tracks on his new album
Supreme, feels as refreshing as air conditioning on a sweltering summer day. As with temperature control, the smooth jazz crafted by the Kansas City musician is intended to enhance life rather than serve as its primary focus. Not only are the eleven selections on
Supreme designed to make pleasant moments even more gratifying, they’re capable of dispersing worry. Even Vaughn’s strong pop orientation on an arrangement of After 7’s 1990 slow jam “Ready or Not” hums unobtrusively in the background like an efficient central air system.
