As we look ahead to the New Year, we asked some of our favorite Smooth Jazz artists to share their New Year's wishes with you.  Here's to another great year of music!

"My New Year's wishes are that we as a country could find peace and end the destruction of other countries. I also wish the best for Smooth Jazz, that it grow larger as a music format and that the artists dig deep and give the people their most inspired, creative works ever!!" - Andre Berry

"As Jack Nicholson said in Mars Attack, 'Why can't we all just get along?'" - Rick Braun

"There needs to be more love in the world.  People need to treat each other better." - Norman Brown

"To live and to give without stop." - Jonathan Butler

"My wish is that we all have more compassion and respect for the those who are less fortunate.. I also hope and pray that the world will find peace and become a safer place for us all." - Nick Colionne

"A Wish that we can bring peace, love and joy into all of our lives as well as into others. A Wish in this coming age, that we all embrace each other as brothers and sisters, with no exceptions. And finally a Wish that everyone's true dreams come to reality. Happy New Year!"
- Alan Hewitt

"For all of us to continue to find that ‘spark’ that ignites our passion; to spend more time with those we love most and make our hearts sing; to face our fears head-on, and not be afraid to endeavor out of our comfort zones. Most of all, though...let’s have some fun in 2005!"
-
Dave Koz

"I wish for everybody to reach their goals and be very, very happy."
- Michael Lington

"My New Year's wish is for more compassion in our country. The world is becoming a smaller and more intimate place all the time yet it is easier now than ever to become detached from one another. So my New Year's wish is for each of us to be more compassionate in 2005."
- Ken Navarro

"I wish to be more responsive to others; to make myself more available to those around me.  I resolve to put my pre-judgement into check, to use my ears and how I hear to be in the service of others, to listen.

"I pledge to open myself wider to other opinions, other beliefs, and not make my friends 'wrong.'  I wish and pledge this for the new year." - Dino Soldo

"Peace, love and health for familly, friends in the new year.  Best wishes for my upcoming cd, Nightlife with lots of touring and maybe another tv appearance.   :)

"Thanks and all the best with SmoothViews.com.  Happy holidays."
- Paul Taylor

"To make a great new record and to bring something special to all our great fans live… to give something back." - Lao Tizer

"Here's wishing Smoothviews and all of it's readers a very happy and prosperous new year! Best wishes & cheers!" - Paul "Shilts" Weimar

"Let's take more care of the environment. It's all we have and we need to preserve it for our children." - Peter White
