A very nice blend of jazz with a smooth Brazilian beat.

"This is a very nice CD to have in your collection. It is the smoothest of the smooth, and if you don't watch out you'll find yourself bobbing within the depths of its soultry sounds. Of course Mr. Obiedo has other fine sounds within your reach. All you have to do is to fall into his groove and you too will know the true bliss of Jazz."

"At times when music is reviewed we as "public" reviewers tend to forget what genre music we are reviewing or perhaps are expecting something else to be heard from what we are listening to. Such is a dilemma with "smooth "Jazz. Labelled as Jazz could be a misnomer, in which lies the dilemma. But saying that, on the other hand there are varying levels or styles of " Jazz" and this type of music that Mr. Obiedo offers definitely falls into the smooth Jazz category, as it so is called. Nothing more, nothing less. So it is unfair to give a poor rating on an artist`s work after listening expecting to hear something which the artist in question is not the style he/she is presenting, or maybe what the artist wants to present to his buying fans. Ray Obiedo presents Latin influenced smooth Jazz. Just nice rhythmic, mostly instrumental, melodious, tuneful, subdued "Jazz" music. Which if your a Smooth Jazz listener you should enjoy."
