Synopsis

Album Description

Jeff Kashiwa?s solo career has been in joyfully frenetic overdrive since the incredible success of "Hyde Park (The Ah, Oooh Song)," a #1 hit on Radio & Records? airplay chart for over eight weeks in 2000. His Native Language debut ANOTHER DOOR OPENS and its more acoustic-oriented 2002 follow-up SIMPLE TRUTH established him as one of smooth jazz?s most dominant saxophone voices, yet in the midst of the breakneck tour schedule and in your face funk that characterizes his biggest hits, Kashiwa has also found true PEACE OF MIND ? a soulful and lyrical concept that drives the gently rhythmic heart of his third Native Language release. Produced by frequent collaborators Brian Bromberg and Chuck Loeb, and Kashiwa himself, the album features performances by keyboardists Jeff Lorber and Dan Siegel, and also includes a performance by Kashiwa's former cohort Russ Freeman of the Rippingtons. Includes the hit single "Peace of Mind," as well as surefire classics such as "Homeward Bound," "Ecstasy," and "Stay With Me."

CD Reviews

His 5th album...It is the Best Yet !!!!!

G. Bates | Rockford, IL USA | 10/06/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Although I am unsure about the singles which have been selected for airplay, it has been my observation that Jeff was partly doomed that his 3rd CD with Hyde Park (the "ah, oooh" song) may have been his best. Not so. This CD is fantastic. I think this project demonstrates more depth than all his prior releases. It certainly doesn't hurt that so many of his peers have colloborated with him. Particularly refreshing was his reunion with Former bandmate and Rippington founder/leader Russ Freeman. My personal favorite(tune) is Ecstasy. A guitar ripping sax inspiring tune co-written by Ron Jenkins and Jeff. It includes Jeff Lorber and Brian Bromberg(who also shares production credits). Of course, many fans will appreciate the bonus track done by the sax pack which consists of Jeff, Kim Waters and Steve Cole. Dare I mention that Several of Kashiwa's Rippingtons bandmates also compliment this project. Dave Hooper on drums and current Brittney Spears keyboard player Dave Kochanski. Also, when you get this CD, be sure to check out Track 9 - STRIDE.."

Jeff does it again!

"Just when you think that Smooth Jazz is dead you get a brand new record from saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa. I purchased his other two records and I loved them both, but I was surprised to find he had a brand new record, and wouldn't you know, it was the best one of the three! It has some great special guests like Russ Freeman, Jeff Lorber, Chuck Loeb and the phenomenal Brian Bromberg who also produced a couple of songs. All in all, this is Jeff's BEST WORK YET and I highly recommend you pick this one up for your collection!"

Very talented player...and under rated

"I liked his work with the rippingtons but he was under the influence of Russ Freeman who didnt let him shine. This CD shows his work as a songwriter and player. It puts him at a new level. His songwriting is excellent and his playing is on par with contemporary players like Euge Groove, Dave Koz, and Walter Beasley. His best work on this CD is where he uses a full ensemble of musicians and stays away from drum programming. This is a great album to listen to from cut one to the end. The best cut by far is "Stride", and he does a cover of "Never Gonna Get It" with fellow sax players Kim Waters and Steve Cole which is a good listen as well. I enjoy this album alot and it has been steadily in my CD player for quite awhile."
