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.  Nonetheless, the result is a smooth, complex blend some where in between R&B, jazz, and soul.  Skinny started out playing drums as a young child, later developing an ear for piano, bass and guitar.  He recorded his first song at nine years old and realized that he'd found a niche in song writing and recording.   As years progressed, Skinny continued recording smooth jazz and has since worked with numerous artists behind the scenes as a producer.  Skinny Hightower's release "Cloud Nine" is his first effort, a powerful series of songs that should fit perfectly into anyone's smooth jazz collection.
