Yes Please

CD-Charts > Music > Smooth Jazz
by: Fourplay

Release Date September 18, 2000
Unarguably these are classy musicians. Open the sleeve notes for this album the credits are:
Bob James - Piano
Nathan East - Bass and Vocals
Larry Carlton - Guitar
Harvey Mason - Drums

I considered giving this 3 stars. Yes there is some lovely guitar playing from Larry Carlton and occasionally Bob James plays some real Piano but this is mostly like Jazz FM when it stopped playing Jazz and became Smooth FM. If you liked that you'll love this.

I found it to be over-produced and soulless - you have been warned.

Shakatak - Live at the Playhouse

CD-Charts > Music > Smooth Jazz
by: Shakatak

Release Date August 22, 2005
I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD. Even more so because I thought that the band whose vinyl recordings I had loved so much back in the 80's had ceased to perform, an impression caused due to the absence of their recordings in record shops and indeed on the radio. Imagine my overwhelming joy therefore in discovering this absolute gem on Amazon. The band have lost nothing of their original appeal for me and have even benefitted from their years of experience. Original band members, Bill Sharpe, George Anderson, Roger O'Dell and Jill Saward are every bit as brilliant as ever, augmented by equal skill and musicianship from the "new" members. As always, the atmosphere of a live show really comes across on this DVD. This is a DVD to be treasured as a performance ... Read More:

Cu

CD-Charts > Music > Smooth Jazz
by: Jan Akkerman

Release Date June 07, 2004
Previous reviewer is spot-on. If you are a fan of Jan, you MUST get this. If you are not a fan of Jan, then what guitar-free planet have you been on?

This is certainly one of his best & musically most varied studio albums, even though I think his live cd's & DVD's are even better.

Essential addition to your Jan collection, & a great starting point if you are a newbie.

Whisper from the Mirror

CD-Charts > Music > Smooth Jazz
by: Keiko Matsui

Release Date May 16, 2000
This is an enhanced CD which means that if it is played on a PC you get access to some multi-media extras. If your PC has MacroMedia Flash and Quicktime installed you should be able to see the extras which are a Movie of about 10 minutes and 8 still photos of Keiko Matsui. Some of the movie is in Japanese but at least you get to known the correct way to pronounce her name correctly.

If you don't have a PC then the music tracks will still play OK on a normal CD player.

The music is a fusion of smooth jazz and new age and the oriental influence adds a refreshing change to other artists in this genre. The track I like most is "Torches on the Earth" and the rest of the CD is good smooth jazz.

Keiko Matsui is a unique artist and ... Read More:

This is the first album I'd bought by Fourplay and I can say I wasn't dissapointed at all. Great tracks played by spot on musicians. A brilliant album to just relax to and sooth the cares of the day away. Highly recommended.
