"I've been a Jeff Lorber Fan since his 1st album, so I've heard every single project he's released. IMOHO, he is simply the most phoenemal Jazz keyboardist on the planet! The results of his groovacious style, whether it's slow and melodic, stankin' funky, or just a smooth jazzy groove, he is always on queue. His improvisational skills are by far technically and melodically unmatched by anyone I've heard, whether it be Greg Phillinganes, George Duke, Herbie Hancock, Dave Grusin, Chick Corea, etc. Although this CD (along with the last couple) is off his beaten path of synthesizers and samplers, which has made him a "Jazz Fusion" artist, it's definitely a welcomed change. This CD is very "acoustic" compared to his legendary "fusion" sound. However, his musical skill proves, what ever he does, he sounds great! If you are a keyboardist or just a Jazz lover, YOU HAVE TO buy this CD, you'll love it!"

Simply the FUNKYEST piano/keyboard player on the planet!

"...though he writes and plays beautiful ballads with the best of them. This CD showcases all of his talents. The Godfather of the popular jazz format. ALL of his work is STRONG!"

Great Contemporary Jazz

"I have been a fan of Jeff Lorber for many years going back to GREAT albums like Galaxian, It's a Fact, In the Heat of the Night etc. This album sounds great, with a lot of similarity to those previous albums. If you liked his older stuff, get this one. I previewd the whole album on Broadcast.com, and had to have it. Enjoy."
