Seconds

Presidential relative Calvin L. Coolidge II shows his deft guitar ability as his light rock and smooth jazz compositions on Seconds are supported by woodwinds, strings, percussion, and a strong rhythm section creating modern instrumental music that transcends genres. Seconds is often described as "intelligent instrumental soft rock backed up by a smooth jazz ensemble" and shows his ability to effortlessly weave rock, folk, new age, classical, and jazz elements into one smooth recording. Several of his fans have told him that they keep this CD in their car players permanently - and no wonder. It is produced by Grammy-nominated artist Paul Speer (David Lanz, Michael Stearns, David Arkenstone) and features the woodwinds of new age/jazz great, Richard Warner (David Lanz, Tingstad and Rumbel). Reviewer Robert Silverstein writes, "An excellent album to unwind and mellow out with," while reviewer Bill Binkelman pens, "The music itself is almost uniformly enjoyable, and the standout tracks are, indeed, standouts."
