Boney James “Sweet Thing” Smooth Jazz Music CD Review
Posted by: | Comments
Richly talented Smooth Jazz artist Boney James has released his latest album titled Sweet Thing and Wow! It's good.
Sweet Thing grabs your attention right from the very first note with East Bay and won't let go until the very last note of the very last song It's All Good, which by the way is another great track.
Sweet Thing has a pleasantly varied, mix of 10 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen.
If you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall Sweet Thing is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.
While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2, Nothin' But Love, track 3, Words, and track 9, Ivory Coast.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5, It's All Good. What a nice track!

Bob Baldwin Standing Tall Jazz Music CD Review
Posted by: | Comments
Bob Baldwin has released him most recent album entitled Standing Tall.
This one grabs your attention right from the beginning with Stand Tall and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song Too Late, which by the way is another great track.
Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Baldwin on several of the tracks. Artists like Roy Ayers and Phil Perry just to name a couple.
Listen to Standing Tall and I believe you'll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Bob Baldwin is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this album.
While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Too Late, track 10 - She's Single, Ready To Mingle, and track 6 - Where Are You Going?.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8 - Everybody Loves The Sunshine. This is a great track!
