Solid, not spectacular
on May 6, 2017
Posted by: KenJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good solid jazz fusion from one of the originators. While there is not a bad song on the album, there aren't any real standout songs either. Nice smooth jazz but kinda background music as well. I would recommend but only to genre fans.

Nice CD. Midon has stepped up his game.
on April 29, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This cd opens up with super-funky title track giving it a kick start I had not heard from Midon before. Some other nice stuff also before closing with a distinctive take on Fly Like an Eagle. Nice cd.

More spiritual but still classic Uncle Charlie
on April 9, 2017
Posted by: KenJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Frankly, I was surprised at how spiritual the album is. That's not a bad thing, just unexpected. If you just want funky up-tempo and lay-you-down songs, you may be disappointed. (Although that's there too.) Once you get over the ititial surprise, I think you'll rank this right up there with his best work.

More than a soundtrack.
on April 9, 2017
Posted by: KenJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
This reminds me of soundtracks to movies like Love Jones where every the album would have been great even without being attached to a great movie. The movie was one of the best movies of the year and the soundtrack is just as inspiring and uplifting.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Packed with great new music and funky covers, one of my favorite recent jazz albums. East is fantastic and he has a couple of great guests.

Phill still sounds great
on April 9, 2017
Posted by: KenJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Phil Perry has a great voice and a great way with a song, whether it's a classic or an original, Phil always sounds great. Material is solid, really comfortable, but doesn't really just reach out and grab you. If you are a Phil Perry fan, you'll love it.

Fantastic new album--updated Memphis sound
on April 9, 2017
Posted by: KenJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I would highly recommend this album. Very modern with and old-school Memphis feel. Gospel-harmonies, exciting lyrics, great sound and feel to the album. This is an album both the young and the old-school will like.

Classic jazz singing at its best
on November 11, 2016
Posted by: KenJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I view Norah Jones as a true jazz singer. She would be equally at home with an orchestra behind her or in a dark, smokey club. She has a classic, classy voice that never disappoints. Strong material with a great voice and range and fantastic phrasing and captivating.

Nothing new
on November 8, 2016
Posted by: KenJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Most of this album are cover songs and they are all "fine". Not bad, but certainly nothing outstanding either. Then at the end are 3 slightly reworked versions or "covers" of her own songs. Best I can say is nice background music if you need something on while you do other things.
