Tim_BowmanWho is Tim Bowman you ask? If you like smooth jazz or easy listing music, read on as we fill in the gaps.  If you like the hard rock or heavy metal stuff this post is not for you.

Sweet Sundays, on his new album, is a great track to relax and sip something cold by the pool.  Tim Bowman is not one of your main stream recording artist. He can be found on SirusXM Watercolors channel or SmoothJazz.com. Or on the old fasion FM radio you might find him on The Wave KTWV-FM.

It has been  a while since we have seen any new material from Tim but this 2009 CD was worth the wait. It was four years ago that he released is CD titled “This is what i hear’” and fours year before that i 2000 he released Smile. But this new CD will give me many hours of relaxed time around the pool.
