Norman Brown...Just Chillin.......2005-10-05

The Best New Smooth Jazz Guitarist Around. A must have for your collection.

Norman Brown, a lost cause.......2005-07-31

This album...weak weak weak... as far as I'm concerned, Norman hasn't played Jazz since After The Storm, arguably Better Days Ahead. Vocals are bad enough, but Norman singing lead on various tracks is just horrible.

Another strong outing by Brown.......2003-11-09

Norman Brown is that rare smooth jazz artist these days that falls comfortably between the roots of his form and the tastes of the forms modern audience. If you're into traditional jazz, you can't help but respect the guy's guitar playing. If you're into smooth jazz, he's the most complex mainstream act in the vein. Even when he handles such radio staples as Janet Jackson, he doesn't do what most acts do and simply play the vocal notes on his instrument of choice over an essentially instrumental version of the original. His covers retain and add mad soul, and his arrangements are not to be slept on. He covers stuff second only to Stanley Jordan (his cover of Michael Jackson's "Lady in My Life" from his 1990 "Magic Touch" album) is the most perfect smooth jazz cover ever), who simply refuses to release anything new these days, so Brown is a fine replacement. While he dots this record with fine singers, I'm ever-drawn to the instrumental work on his records. These tracks showcase his incredible ear for a well-constructed and pleasing song, and his playing really shines on tracks where his is the sole voice.

Not a classic like his "After the Storm" record, but a solid purchase through and through.

Hate It.......2003-10-03

That which is Jazz is good music but, there are far too many vocal selections. I buy and listen to Jazz for the quiet times. I find most vocals contained on many Jazz CD's to be an intrusion. Were these vocal additives true Jazz vocals they would be fine.

Bad! what a guy!.......2003-09-06

Norman Norman Norman. A Nerdy Name, an amazing record. I love to hear him pick. No one these days can do what he can. Give me back Benson and Klugh and let them jam with Norm and Bernie Williams, and i'll fall over and die happy! Way to go norm,it's another hit! Go for this one, no matter what! It's fantastic
