His move to the prestigious label Blue Note has inspired guitarist Ronny Jordan to such an extent that he has delivered by far his best CD so far with A Brighter Day. As special guests are present: Mos Def, Roy Ayers, DJ Spinna, Ticklah, Jill Jones, Stefon Harris, Jeff 'Tain' Watt and Stephanie McKey. It has become an album with many styles, such as Acid Jazz, Smooth Jazz, Rare Groove, New Jazz
… Swing, Jazz Funk and Straight Jazz. Besides these different styles, he also takes us on an excursion to Brazil, Latin America, and even India. Ronny Jordan himself wrote seven of the fourteen songs and was in charge of the production together with Brian Bacchus.
