CD ReviewsMelodic Jazz Fills My Soul 02/26/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I don't just love the songs, I love the whole CD. "Over that Wave" has no filler. Each song flows from one to the other, creating a complete listening experience. The musicianship is outstanding, but the CD doesn't stray into "musicianship for the sake of musicianship." The rich vocal harmonies and horn arrangements have a specific purpose in each song. It's very melodic and listenable. Two of the songs are in Spanish and have an almost "folkloric" quality to them, which I think is extraordinary in a jazz CD. Some of the other tunes have a real R&B beat to them which will get you dancing around the kitchen; others have a genuine soulfulness that never strays into the superficial. Five stars." Excellent. My favourite kind of music. Virgolino Luis | TURQUEL, Portugal | 09/01/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Stongly influenced by brasilian bossa nova (which I obviously love, brasilians have the best musicians/composers in the whole world), this Ed Johnson's CD has become one of my favourites lately. I'd never heard of him until a while ago. Thank God I did. He's fantastic, excellent composer and guitarist with good mellow voice, his melodies are superb, instrumentation is very well chosen, exquisite arrangements, voices are very well fit. This is definitely my favourite kind of music: somewhere between jazz, soul, latin, pop, bossa nova and world music. I love this because Ed Johnson sort of mingles all these styles into a great album. Thank you Mr Johnson. We're waiting for the next one." GO MR. JOHNSON Virgolino Luis | 01/19/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "As a student of Ed Johnson's guitar class, I can truly say that this is a great album, and he's a great teacher."
