Smooth jazz is the style, and with \u2018Take The Time; Smell The Roses\u2019, his newest single,  it\u2019s three minutes of pure serenity, which washes over you, soothes you, and eases you into a relaxed state of mind.<\/strong><br><br>Marriott&#8217;s playing is immensely dynamic, starting coy and suggestive, becoming full-bodied and lush as the song progresses. That&#8217;s the sort of thing he&#8217;s always done with his ensemble, The Spirit Of Jazz, and it&#8217;s what has recommended him to open for artists working in many styles, including Boney James, Dave Koz, Julian Vaughn, and Bill Medley from the Righteous Brothers.<br><br>For the music video accompanying the single, Geno Marriott puts his million-dollar smile on display, underscoring the song&#8217;s theme by beaming, widely, from the midst of a rosebush in bloom. He takes his soprano sax to a lakeside pier and blows as the water ripples behind him; he strides through a forest grove; he lets the strains echo around a beautiful arboretum. Marriott is a man on the move, chasing beauty and experience wherever he finds it and always looking at the world through fresh eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out Geno Marriott in action below, and follow him online on his official <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gmusicgroup.com\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Geno-Marriott-1419362941446048\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GenoMarriott\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/genomarriott\/\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_82638\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vMeP2yErM_A?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Geno Marriott - Take The Time: Smell The Roses (Official Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/vMeP2yErM_A\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geno Marriott spins tales with his soprano saxophone, telling a story with  each solo, each phrase &#8211; all with a finely-wrought opening and a satisfying conclusion.
