Amazon.com The title of the last cut on Jeff Golub's first outing for his new label, GRP, King Curtis's "Soul Serenade," provides a perfect summation of the CD's contents. Soul is exactly what separates Golub's blues-soaked guitar from the usual "contemporary instrumental" fare. In addition to his magnificently minimal fingersnap arrangement of the Curtis classic, he offers another soul-sax masterpiece, Grover Washington's "Mr. Magic." Golub's own compositions, such as "Droptop" and the title cut, recall yet another funky tenor titan: Eddie Harris. Golub's tone is sweet, but his attack is tangy; no flash, just the elegant and emotive instrumental phrasing of a great singer--Al Green, not Mariah Carey. At one time, there was a genre--"soul-jazz"--that would have fit the former Rod Stewart sideman's music like the proverbial glove; today, he gets lumped into "smooth jazz." Within that format, Golub's use of real instruments rather than programming, his rock edge, and his genuine feeling are dangerous indeed. --Michael Ross Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD Reviews'Upbeat' Smooth Jazz Alex Crawford | St. Petersburg, FL USA | 09/12/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "For those who are getting into jazz from a rock, soul, r&b, or blues background, Jeff Golub is a great musician to listen too. Most songs are upbeat, with great guitar licks. I have enjoyed every one of Jeff's cd's, and Dangerous Curves is as good as it gets. 'No Two Ways About It', with Peter White on acoustic guitar is the current #1 smooth jazz song (9/14/00). Just saw Jeff in concert (he is currently touring on the Guitars and Saxes Smooth Jazz tour)and he brought the audience to their feet with his guitar playing. Highly recommend all of the Avenue Blue cd's as well." Dangerous Golub! Gia | Woodland Hills, CA USA | 07/31/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Awesome CD !! I saw Jeff perform at the 2000 Pasadena JazzFest and was totally captivated by his performance and the music. I bought the CD, 'Dangerous Curves' that day, based on what I had heard. It has been a permanent fixture on my CD player this last year. It is hip,sassy,funky, with a blues feeling.Plus more! Check the smooth,romantic "Till We Meet Again" and the great cover of Smashmouths "Walkin' on the Sun" ! You will enjoy." Golden Golub Gia | 05/01/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Jeff Golub really hits home with this excellent recording. He attempted to capture the 70's funk sound and boy, did he get it right! The first two tunes will get you hopping and reel you in for the rest. Make sure to check out his own web site for his own take on each of the tunes (www.jeffgolub.com/dangerous_curves_jg.htm). Very insightful and most of the songs were cut with one take!"
