CD ReviewsAnother Hit for a Smooth Jazz Superstar!! B. Crawford | Tallahassee, Fl United States | 02/25/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have NOT stopped playing this CD since I picked up a copy two weeks ago. Each time I listen to it I hear something new, and my level of enjoyment just keeps increasing.Ricks mixture of soulful composition and quality personel really highlight his skills as both an artist and producer, and trust me, he has some REALLY talented people working with him on this project. Starting with the lead song "Green Tomatoes" where he once again joins forces with "bwb" cohorts Kirk Whalum and Norman Brown for a SERIOUSLY funky jazz jam session, he features some of the top studio artists in the business on this CD. Rickey Peterson, Mitch Forman, Tony Maiden, Louis Conte, Randy Jackson, Alex Al, Paul Jackson Jr, Gerald "Wonderfunk" Albright, Gregg Karukas, and Jeff Lorber are some of the stars of smooth jazz contributing to this album.Rick covers all the moods on this CD, from the up-tempo funky "Green Tomatoes" and dance-able "Stereo", to the laid-back love ballard "Turquoise". This is really good stuff, and though he doesn't have any technically challenging performances here, the songs are well written, arranged, and very entertaining. Throw in REAL strings on 4 of the 10 cuts and you have one EXCELLENT album. One worth listening to over and over again.I'm enjoying it and I'm sure you will too." Simply Melts in Your Ear......Just Like M&Ms Catherine L. Morrison | Naperville, California USA | 08/27/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Oh, my God, from the first song, "Green Tomatoes", to the last "Mother's Day", I was hypnotized & seduced. "Zona Rosa" and "Latinesque" are feel good beats. As fabulous and as talented as Rick Braun is, I never thought he could surpass "Kisses in the Rain". This is by far Rick Braun at his absolute best. With an ensemble of remarkable artists, Norman Brown, Jeff Lorber, Greg Kurakus and of course Gerald Albright, this album is a delicious mix of latin and jazz infused into one tantalizing CD. The Album is a balanced mix of upbeat and easy melodies, this CD will comfort you while driving, seduce you while making love and, and kick it up a few notches when entertaining. Love, love, love the CD. This is definitely a must have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" An extra ordinary perfomance vusie | east london,south africa | 01/18/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "this is a bomb,it is a must for any contemporary jazz fan to own this album.this album define rick as among the best trumpeters in history.
