(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is warm and sustaining Jazz, produced with true musical instruments, no electronics. Of course I am a bit iffy on the Hammond, but it too produces a rich sound. This is something the Smooth Jazz producers should take note of. Try some genuine music for a change, and toss out the electronic simulators, and bring back real music. Now I know the aim is to save money, but in this attempt music in gerneral has been hurt, and especially Jazz.



My hands down favorite is "Isn't It Romantic," the violin, in the Jazz format is such a change from what we have been accustomed to, and it works beautifully. If you are one of those who does not like Jazz, give this a listen some quiet evening, and see what you think. This is a genre that has taken so many hits of late, because it is so watered down. But if you are a Jazz lover, and you have not heard this CD, purchase, beg, barrow, or download a copy, you will not be disappointed."
