"I have all the Paul Hardcastle / Jazzmaster cds except 2 and I was very pleased with this latest work from Paul. There are detractors who say this cd is typically Hardcastle and sounds like all the rest. Well this is fine with me...why would I buy a Hardcastle cd that sounds like Miles Davis? There are those that say Paul's daughter is a distraction on this cd. Albeit Maxine is no Helen Rodgers but come on, she's only 19 and the fact that she had input on the lyrics of her songs and that they will appeal to a younger generation of listeners goes a long way in showing that she has a future in music.

Listeners will notice the absence of Helen Rodgers on this cd which should be no surprise as Helen features mainly on the Jazzmasters series. But don't get me wrong , I love Helen's voice and was slightly surprised at the scarcity of her voice on the Jazzmasters 4 cd. But for those that love the Hardcastle sound they will not be disappointed with Hardcastle 4....keep up the good work Paul and I look forward to the developing career of Maxine."
