Matt Willard’s evolution into Cali Jones arrives fully formed on “Midnight Strut,” a sleek, late‑night Smooth Jazz groove capturing the cinematic allure of the West Coast sound he’s chased since childhood. Produced by two‑time GRAMMY® winner Paul Brown and featuring flugelhorn great Ron King, the track blends velvet‑toned sax lines with a confident rhythmic pulse that nods to the Quiet Storm era while feeling unmistakably modern. Jones plays with ease, swagger, and intention, signaling an artist stepping boldly into his new identity. “Midnight Strut” isn’t just a vibe — it’s Cali Jones announcing exactly who he has become.
