This song captures the spirit of a truly great vacation - starts out playful,light and full of anticipation, turns into a magical adventure and then before you know it, time is up and the memories just trail off - until you look at some photos years later - good times
Thanks once again this song is back on youtube I remember it playing on a former smooth jazz station back in 1990. I understand it was written in 1988. I like Tom Grant's music&once again-"THANKS".
Same here, GJ! I discovered so many great artists through CD 101.9. I've seen Tom Grant at the Jazz Wednesdays concerts that CD 101.9 used to have on the Plaza of the World Trade Center Plaza. Even got him (and Tuck and Patti and Special EFX - among others - to sign the poster -- which I STILL have to this day!) This is my all-time favorite Tom Grant composition.
I MISS THOSE CD 101.9 DAYS OF GREAT CREATIVE MUSIC❣️❣️❣️ I RECORDED HUNDREDS OF CASSETTES OFF THE STATION AND ENJOY THEM EACH TIME I PLAY A CASSETTE TAPES; I RELIVE THOSE DAYZZ🎵❤️🎵
I met Tom, a great honor, on one of the Plaza gigs at the WTC of course before 9/11 :(.... and I told him this is my absolute favorite tune of his, unfortunately he didn't play at the show. I so listen to this all the time here. This whole album is amazing.
What an absolutely gorgeous song!! I have been listening to it since I was little. A true masterpiece. So joyful and love the wonderful use of the synthesizers.
Love this tune! Thanks for share it! Me encanta este "Private Beach" del estupendo álbum "Mango Tango" que el pianista Tom Grant publicó en 1988. Una pieza de colección de este músico de Portland que aprendió a tocar el piano y la batería muy joven y que publicó su primer trabajo, "Timeless" en 1976, lo que no extraña ya que proviene de una familia muy musical; su padre, dueño de una tienda de discos, era bailarín de claqué y su hermano también pianista de jazz. #SmoothJazz
Hey you all another of Tom Grant's hits "If You Were My Girl" is on youtube!!!! Just found it & listened to it "WoW"!!!! I heard it back in the late eighties only a few times & for many years til now never did hear it again! I also thought it was Tom Scott that wrote it!!!!
Holy shit, I love this damn song. Absolutely one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time. No matter what I'm doin, I stop to listen to it. It's on all of my playlists and all of my gadgets that have music sections.
I've been looking for this cd on and off since it was released. I stopped buying cd's about 8 years ago. I just found this one for $4 shipping included on Ebay. Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Thank you!!!! I have been searching for this song for many, many, many years. I thought Kim Pensyl recorded it. I began looking for a George Duke recording of it. I tried Alex Bugnon: What a find. I have to purchase a CD from Amazon.
I understand CD 101.9 -New York City went away for a bit, but it's back. I stream it everyday online @ work -nice mix of smooth jazz and older top 40 r&b stuff -classy all the way :-}
THIS was the tune that introduced me to Tom Grant, on CD 101.9 radio. I've seen him LIVE. I love everything he's done since this album, but, THIS piece remains my favorite. I can listen to it for hours. And I have.
OMG, what do you know about CD 101.9?? THATS AWESOME!!! You must be from NY, NJ, or somewhere near there. That was my absolute favorite radio station too!!! I'm Chris and I'm from Jersey. It's nice to know I have a fellow smooth jazz fan that loves that same station as I do. Dobt you miss it?? I was FURIOUS when they changed the programming to some other format. They did the same thing to 97.1 WYNY. The coolest station. Easy listening artist like Christopher Cross and artists like that. Sorry I'm so long winded. A pleasure to know you.
BTW on another Tom Grant video with another song on the same album(Mango Tango) I left a message that this song was back on youtube for those who are interseted FYI&thanks!!!!!
Can someone PLEASE TELL ME what site can i download this song from.? Ive been looking for a long damn time and no one has it. Mp3skull, mp3fil, stafaband, not even Amazon has it, no one. Someone help.

Very eloquently put, chief. Well said indeed.
One of the most beautiful pieces of smooth jazz on earth!
Tom Grant is the one.One of the Best American Composers.Long Live Tom.
Yes, indeed. Truly...
Carefully pieced together with uttermost sophistication.
Thanks once again this song is back on youtube I remember it playing on a former smooth jazz station back in 1990. I understand it was written in 1988. I like Tom Grant's music&once again-"THANKS".
I remember listening to this late at night in the 80s....greatest composition ever!!!
Back yet again. I can never get enough of this beautiful music.
I've owned this album for years and never tire of listening to it. 'Private Beach' is an all-time favorite from a truly gifted musician. So beautiful!
Like many of Tom's works, this piece has always held a special place in my heart & memory.
Thanks for All The Music God bless the NW!
Met Tom in Huntinton Beach California at this club named KuKuya. Amazing man. He was in love with a dear friend of mine named Vienna. Good ole days
An excellent underrated classic from Tom Grant...reminds me of taking a nice cruise somewhere!
Great track from an excellent album. Takes me to a good place every time.

I've always enjoyed jazz pianists. Bob James off the top of my head. But this is classic.
CLASSIC.
