J245. IT NEVER RAINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA - Tony Toni Tone
key - Cm - original key - playing time - 5:39
Similar arrangement of a smooth jazz version of this 90's RnB US hit for the band Tony Toni Tone.
Musicians, particularly smooth jazz and soul based artists, seem to be drawn to the cool chord changes and the overall vibe of the song. This arrangement is in the original artist key but the arrangement is based on the smooth jazz link and with a definite ending.
