"I wasn't sure whether or not to buy this CD but I took the chance and I'm so glad I did. I've never bought anything by Brian before but will now investigate his whole back catologue. From the opening female cooing on "Never give up" through to the funked up pounding of "Bass Face" - you will not be disappointed. Jeff Lorber, Brian Culbertson and David Benoit guest throughout, particularly Lorber, who as ever is superb. Every track sounds as though it has Peter White strumming all over it but infact it is the Piccolo bass playing of Brian - quite expert playing. Favourite track has to be track 6 - "B2" where Brian and Culbertson swop nifty notes with one another. Every track is written by Brian with no filler in sight. Buy this CD..."

Maybe his best original work !!!

"I admit, I have loved Brian's work since I first heard him on his project..You Know That Feeling. On this project, Brian has 14 tracks with unique arrangements. Nothing sounds like a cover of anything you have heard. With guest artists like Jeff Lorber (who is at his best on this), Brian Culbertson (another smoking and rising star keyboardist in the instrumental format), Dave Kochanski (former Rippingtons keyboard and current Brittany Spears(it pays the bills)keyboards) and David Benoit (master pianist/composer) you can't go wrong with a line-up like this.



This project has it all. Funky tunes, sweet ballads, and sounds taht you swear are coming from a rock guitar but is simply is the masterful work of Bromberg's amazing bass talent on display. After you get this one, then I suggest you compare it to his covers of Jaco Pastorius's work. Bromberg's tribute is simply called Jaco. Both of them are worthy additions to a pop instrumental jazz collection."

A Satisfying Recording!

"Live365.com provided the whole album to its broacasters and it gave me the time to evaluate his work. Brian Bromberg is a huge follower of the great bassist, Jaco Pastorious. Like Jaco, Brian's work is hip and innovative. The highlights on this release are "When I look in you're eyes", "Bass Face" and the title track which sets the mood for this CD. If you're not familiar with his music, this is a great starter! Outstanding work!"
