Kim Waters "In The Name Of Love" Smooth Jazz Music CD Review

Posted by admin2 on August 17th, 2010 Comments Off



In The Name Of Love is the latest release from Smooth Jazz Star Kim Waters, and is another great one by this talented musician.

Kim Waters has been a super star in the Smooth Jazz genre for quite some time now and In The Name Of Love is an excellent illustration as to why.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Kim Waters’s most impressive releases ever.

Overall In The Name Of Love is a solid release. Quite possibly Kim Waters’s best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you’re even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you’ll enjoy this album.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2, Sunset, track 5, Love’s Theme, track 8, Cross My Heart.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7, For The Groove In You. Good stuff!

Alex Bugnon "Free" Smooth Jazz Music CD Review

Posted by admin2 on August 14th, 2010 Comments Off



Free is the latest release from Smooth Jazz Star Alex Bugnon, and I can only think of one word to describe this CD… AWESOME!

Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Free. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Free has a nicely varied, mix of 10 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Smooth Jazz isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired and the overall production is simply outstanding. If you’re even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you’ll enjoy this album.

While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tracks are Free [track 1], In Your Eyes [track 4], and Pillow Talk [track 8].

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 6, Downtime. Wow!

Free Release Notes:

Alex Bugnon originally released Free on Oct 04, 2005 on the Narada record label.

CD Track List Follows:

1. Free

2. Fingertips

3. Carrera

4. In Your Eyes

5. Sierra Leone

6. Downtime

7. Tomorrow (Better You, Better Me)

8. Pillow Talk

9. Don’t Go

10. Out There

Personnel include: Alex Bugnon (piano); Vincent Henry (harmonica, soprano saxophone); Victor Bailey (bass instrument); Sonny Emory (drums).

Norman Brown "West Coast Coolin" Smooth Jazz Music CD Review

Posted by admin on April 24th, 2010 No Comments



The exceptionally talented Smooth Jazz Artist Norman Brown has released his third and latest CD on the Warner Bros. recording label entitled West Coast Coolin’. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Norman Brown fans, and smooth jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one.

With the release of West Coast Coolin’ Brown’s artistic excellence is on full display as he has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be his best work to date.

West Coast Coolin’ is what smooth jazz is all about. One of those rare CD’s on which every track is great making it easy to listen to from beginning to end.

The CD offers a buffet of smooth melodic tunes. Kicking off with I Might, a song that features an outstanding vocal contribution from the very soulful Carol Riddick that will definitely be heard on smooth jazz radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so.

From there Brown proceeds to display why he is considered one the greatest smooth jazz guitarists of our time as he mixes his signature groove throughout the CD. At times very audibly showing the influence George Benson has had on his playing.

Overall West Coast Coolin’ is an outstanding release. What I call, must have music. I give it two thumbs up. Even the casual smooth jazz fan will appreciate and enjoy Browns very nice smooth style.

The standout tunes and SmoothJazz247.com favorites on West Coast Coolin’ are I Might [track 1], the title track West Coast Coolin’ [track 3], and I’m Comin’ Over [track 5]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8, Let’s Play. Very nice!

Release Notes:

Norman Brown originally released West Coast Coolin’ on September 21, 2004 on the Warner Bros. record label.

CD track list follows:

1. I Might (featuring Carol Riddick)

2. Up ‘N’ At ‘Em

3. West Coast Coolin’

4. Missin’ You

5. I’m Comin’ Over

6. What’s Goin’ On

7. Let’s Play

8. Right Now

9. Angel

10. Remember The Time
