CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description The follow-up to Steve Oliver's award-nominated debut album, "Positive Energy" takes a cue from Steve's enlightening and energetic persona with exciting Smooth Jazz and Instrumental Pop nuggets that feature Steve's unique style of vocalese and guitar work. Steve's blend of acoustic guitar in the style of Peter White fuses with his one-of-a-kind vocal sounds and scats to create a truly memorable experience. On "Positive Energy," Steve delves deeper into his passions for Latin and R&B music, and incorporates his trademark and crowd-pleasing wordless vocals into each of the 12 original tracks. Together, with Steve's dynamic band and a great cast of special guests, including Spyro Gyra keyboardist and co-founder Tom Schuman, bass phenom Brian Bromberg, saxophonist and labelmate Jeff Kashiwa, and saxophonist Brandon Fields, the elements are in line truly to create his best work yet. His 1999 debut "First View" was nominated for an AFIM (Association For Independent Music) Indie Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Recording. The album earned Steve the distinction of "Debut Artist of the Year" from Smooth Jazz News. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsPositively Love Positive Energy! highflyingadore | Washington, DC (area) | 03/14/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Do you like contemporary jazz guitar? Do you love it? Then you'll positively love this CD. One of the best contemporary jazz guitar featured CD's I've heard all year. And, if you're like me and you check out the liner notes, you'll see that Steve O has some very talented players backing him up:Will Donato, Steve Reid, Jeff Kashiwa, Dave Kochanski, Tony Guerrero, Brandon Fields, and Tom Schuman. Most of the tracks are uptempo, including the radio cut "High Noon", the title track "Positive Energy", and the Tom Schuman featured "Festivo". The slower tracks are smooth and mellow, ("Horizon" and "Ocean Blue") without having the snooze factor found in most smooth jazz radio friendly songs. Add this CD to your collection. You can thank me later." Wow, wow, wow!! R. Jackson | Clinton, MD United States | 09/26/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Never heard Steve's first CD, but if it's anything like this latest, I'll be RUNNING, not walking, to buy it! Funky, jazzy, with a taste of sweet Latin rhythms and melodies, he's got it all! And the guy can PLAY!" Fuel with Positive Energy and Optimism ...... Lim Ti Leong | Singapore | 10/06/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I had not heard of Steve Oliver's first album, but I would recommend it to everyone ! These high energy guitaristic tracks are therapeutically composed and arranged (blessed) with energy and optimism as well tuned to perfection ....such great tracks as 'Right Direction', 'Ocean Blue', 'High Noon' , 'Positive Energy' , Mr Hipster etc.. etc...and other great vocals 'Show You Love' and 'Come On Home'... are too brilliant to enjoy !"
