Hi Mindi,

What can I say? Great CD. Every Time is worth the price of the CD alone. You're very talented. Well done!

This is a brilliant follow on from her first album. I find the music extremely enjoyable, relaxing, and exciting all at the same time.

3 out of 5 stars Carving her niche in the community.......2006-06-15

Once again, BOOK & MUSIC LOVER continues his/her rant against modern Jazz expressions (i.e. Smooth Jazz), thinking that he/she can stop fans of this genre from continuing to listen to their favorites. Just check out his/her personal reviews and see if you don't see a pattern .... "This isn't REAL Jazz" .... "so call Smooth Jazz" ..... "a step above elevator music". Mindi Abair is continuing in the Smooth Jazz community to fuse her vocals into her performances. My own personal preference is for instrumental Jazz without the vocals. If that's what you like as well, leave this CD for a later time .... check out Mindi's first album.

2 out of 5 stars Maybe A Couple Of Steps Above Elevator Music.......2006-06-14

The Sax is very fluid instrament, and in the right hands, the horn can speak. But alast not here. The ruining of the Jazz genre, is today almost total, save for a few. Jazz should be palyed with real instaments, the electronic subs are sleepy time at best. A good Bassist, or even a more knowlegable drummer, and of course that horn. Jazz has a flow, a warmth, almost a life of it's own, when presented by musicans who know and understand what this music is. Where is the soul, where is the improvisional expressions. What is on paper should only be an outline. Get some real musicians and try this again. Sorry Mindi, and all you so called Smooth Jazz listeners. Oh Do not get me wrong, I like some Smooth Jazz. Let me see who comes to mind, Fourplay, and well give me some time to think.

4 out of 5 stars A nice follow-up.......2006-02-27

This is pretty much like her debut, except, I'll have to agree with a fellow reviewer who pointed out "New Shoes" Yes, I think in this piece you can see a lot of raw talent. It is very sparse in acompaniment and Mindi's sax really shines thru. She plays more complicated passages and a real pleasant surprise among the smooth jazz tracks. I don't really care much for her vocal endevours. I am not saying that she can't sing, but her talent is in her sax and that's the reason I buy her CD's. So what I did is edited all the vocals from her two CD and put a Mindi- no vocals. It is terrific and really nice to listen to her play the sax alone. I wish she would concentrate more in this area, I think she can achieve the same success as Kenny G, if she keeps it up with her sax because her sound has a wide appeal and very easy to listen to, also she's a petite, pretty bubbly blonde who is a wonderful live performer. Right now there's isn't a standout Saxophonist, Mindi could do it.
