There's always warm insinuation in the sound of Kim Waters's soprano saxophone, a summoning of moonlit vistas and invitations to romance. The rhythms change from overt to understated here, and the melodies have their own individual appeal, but Waters's strength is his consistency, an ability to keep the music simple and the emotional focus clear. Whether it's a ballad or a faster tune, Waters maintains the cool propulsion of the subtlest R&B, masterfully inflecting his every phrase. Meli'sa Morgan's sultry voice makes the soul classic "Am I the Same Girl" a gem, and Chuck Loeb's guitar shines on the two tunes that he co-composed and produced, "Secrets Told" and "Up All Night." --Adam Rains

Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

Quiet Storm Smooth Jazz At It's Best.......2007-01-02

As a man who is known into his grown & sexy mode I know when it comes to music there's got to be a perfect mixture of romance, groove and a strong melody that you can hum along to after the first listen. Jazz is no expection and I always entertain guests with my mix CD'S. Kim Water's cover of Fournate is a jazz lover's paradise .

Soprano Sax Supreme.......2004-12-29

If you like sweet jazz and the soprano sax, this album is a must have for your music library. Every song a keeper !

Loved it!.......2002-02-09

Not a single track on Kim's CD is disappointing! Every minute of the smooth sax's sing is great! I am a new fan!

Kim Waters Outdoes Himself Again!.......2000-07-06

This is his 2nd Shanachie Jazz release and it is a beautiful if short album of wonderful and embracing songs~! My favorites are Secrets Told and Mr. Smooth. I hope he makes more like this!

Soulfully and Sensually Delicious.......2000-06-17

Where has this guy been? This is my second CD of his that I have in my collection now and its delicious. His soprano sax has to be the smoothest on the jazz airwaves. The cut " Secrets Told " is absolutely gorgeous. Its almost in the same vain as his previous work Love's melody and the cut " Easy Going ". In my opinion what makes this album besides Kim's fabulous sax playing is his back-up band and the studio mixing. Also included in this delious CD is Will Lee, Chuck Loeb and Andy Snitzer on a couple of cuts. Man what more could you ask for other then a glass of wine and your lady @ your side.
