CD Reviews

Perfect Driving Music

Weston C. Childers | San Angelo, Texas United States | 06/14/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"the albums of the "Best of Smooth Jazz" series are arguably some of the greatest smooth jazz compilations to date. I credit this particular series of albums with opening my eyes to the sheer beauty that encompasses smooth jazz. This particular album is of coure the forerunner, and daresay, the best of the immaculate series. My favorite cut off the album would have to be Bob James' "Angela" (theme from "Taxi"). This classic is worth that price of admission alone as it offers so much more then just the 30 seconds it is alloted per episode of said show. Al Jarreau's "We're In This Love Together" is a tune that many will recognize as it has been a frequent staple in most pop radio stations across the country. Pure greatness! There is so much more to say, but I am sure everyone gets the point by now. If you have been an avid love of smooth jazz for years or if you are a novice to this genre (not unlike myself), throw your inhibtions to the wind, and sail away with "Best of Smooth Jazz""

Only the best without the commercials!

"This is a collection of musical pieces that are delivered on a silver platter. I bought it for Maputo and didn't pay any attention to the rest of the bill of fare. WoW! I got my money's worth! Sanborn, Franks, Benson to start...."

Solid collection of late night jazz.

"A great blend of some well recognized performances by a variety of smooth jazz artists. Some of the best cuts are athe full version of the theme from Taxie by Bob James and Midnight in San Juan by Earl Klugh. The mix of performersa makes the CD sound more like a late night jazz radio program (without the commercial interuptions) than a single CD. Good length CD as well... with 13 cuts."
