Future Smooth is a song created in a spirit of musical exploration by Ryan Montano. From the sound palettes and melodies, to the horn textures and production design, a challenge was put forth to create a song that has lasting musical integrity, well beyond the moment in time in which it was created; a song that sounds fresh and maintains its vitality for years to come.
“I consider myself a student of this genre,” says Ryan. “The songs and artists that have directly inspired my music are the contemporary jazz pioneers who have blazed this trail of musical intrepidness and evolved this format.
“I am honored to be able to create music in this same space and aim to respectfully contribute to the growth and evolution of this format in a way that is honest, adventurous, and unique.”
