"Groove-O-Matic" Glory For Guitarist Blake Aaron
Aliso Viejo, Calif. (Top40 Charts/ Great Scott P.R.oductions) Guitarist Blake Aaron is still tucked away in the recording studio tinkering on his forthcoming fifth album, "Soul Stories," yet he's already topped the charts with a single from the session. Aaron's cool electric jazz guitar dances to a retro '70s disco groove aided by big vibrant horn blasts on "Groove-O-Matic," which has spent the last nine weeks at No. 1 on the Groove Jazz Music chart and entered the Billboard Smooth Jazz Songs Top 5.

"Groove-O-Matic" is the second single to hit the charts from the album slated for release this summer on Innervision Records. Jazz crooner Spencer Day was featured on "You're The One For Me," which reigned in the Top 10 for 20 weeks. The first album Aaron has produced on his own, "Soul Stories" is a collection of soulful jazz, funk and Latin grooves and includes an appearance by urban jazz saxophone star Najee.

"'Soul Stories' is literally the musical story of my soul. It's been a long-time coming and spans the journey of my marriage and the birth of my two children. It's my first CD that is entirely self-produced, my biggest radio and commercial success to date and has been nicknamed our 'Third Child.' I'm very proud of the record and look forward to performing it live," said Aaron, who will perform tracks from the disc with his band and special guests this Saturday night at Spaghettini in Seal Beach, Calif.

Aaron headlines the San Antonio Summer Arts Jazz Festival on June 1 and is presently lining up summer dates in support of "Soul Sessions."

Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "a genius on the guitar," Aaron pours passion and precision into his fretwork. Emerging from the studio where he was an in-demand session player and stepping out of the shadows after being a long-time sideman, Aaron launched his solo career with 2001's "With Every Touch" containing appearances by contemporary jazz stalwarts Eric Marienthal and David Benoit. Singles from the debut album as well as from subsequent releases - "Bringin' It Back," "Desire" and "A Romantic Christmas" - have always been favorably received at radio and charted well nationally. Since 2008, Aaron has hosted the internationally syndicated "The Blake Aaron Radio Show" that he describes as an "artist to artist show" on which he jams live on the weekly program with guests that have included Anita Baker, Kenny Loggins, Brian Culbertson, Boney James, Peter White, Rick Braun, Mindi Abair, Earl Klugh, Lee Ritenour, Nathan East, Paul Jackson Jr., Jackiem Joyner and Jessy J. His resume includes playing on and composing music and theme songs for films and popular television series such as "MAD TV," "The Ben Stiller Show," "Super Dave Osborne" and "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment." Additional information is available at www.BlakeAaron.com.

"Soul Stories" contains the following songs:
"Groove-O-Matic"
"Encantadora"
"You're The One For Me"
"Wes Side Story"
"You're My Miracle"
"Sara Smile"
"Europa"
"Soul Stories"
