Bruce Conte's second solo release, "Rumor Has It" is a tasty foray into contemporary jazz flavors and also retains a soul and R&B vibe. The depth of the music on this project offers more than some other recent smooth jazz offerings.

The music retains it's soul and sincerity through this great collection of melodic grooves. Bruce's guitar playing carries a smooth jazz sensibility, but also let's you know that it's Bruce holding the guitar.

If you enjoy contemporary jazz or "quiet storm"-type R&B, I think you'll truly enjoy this release.
