Outstanding Music.......2004-02-11

Kirk Whalum has outdone himself on this CD. This is my favorite Jazz CD of all time. A must for any collection.

Best Jazz CD.......2001-11-09

Great CD a must buy for any Jazz enthusiasts.

from the soul.......2000-07-19

Of all of Kirk's CDs this is my favorite from beginning to end. This CD is the essence of soul-filled contemporary/popular jazz music without being overproduced or busy. The production values are supurb! Both the music and the lyrics speak to the essence of life in a way that truly give honor to life. The breadth of Kirk's sax is wonderfully matched with Mike Reid's vocals and Matt Rollings piano. The respective "duos" with Larrry Carlton and Dwight Sills could not have been played any better. A pristine collection of songs!

One of my favorites.......1999-09-28

This album is probably Kirk's best. This is more adult contemporary jazz than traditional with just a hint of Tennessee thrown in. The big clincher for "In This Life" is the performance of Mike Reid. Mike doesn't have the best or most pure voice in the world, but is a great SINGER and a talented songwriter. Reid really does grown on you as you listen to the CD more and more. "I Turn To You" is a standout, you can tell this man has hurt before. The instrumental cuts on this album are also exceptional, particularly "Peaceful Hideaway". Turn the lights down and put this album on.

A lushly produced, multi-faceted dream ride of soul & jazz........1999-07-05

I haven't been able to stop listening to this album for 2 weeks. I feel as though I have found someone's musical diary, revealing the innermost and profound confessions of the least-understood emotion in history -- love. The most surprising fact is that as I listen, and listen again and again, I felt as though when I finished the diary I looked, it was my name that was the one that was on it. Kirk Whalum has his finger on the very pulse of all our deepest thoughts and secrets and translates them into words and music that literally transcend definition in any other form but his soulful renditions. I have never experienced an album so vividly raw and emotional since I heard Eric Clapton's "Pilgrim". Whether drawn from his own experiences or those of others Kirk Whalum speaks to us all: men and women; husbands and wives; lovers and lost loves. We hear his rich, plaintive saxophone and wondrous vocals and somehow can't believe -- "how did he know? how could he understand what I felt?" From start to finish, "In This Life" is an instant classic for anyone who has ever loved and lost -- or loved and won -- or loved at all. I just ordered two more copies for people I care for who are experiencing transitional periods in their relationships -- just so they know there are words and notes and 60 minutes of musical enlightenment to ease their way -- over and over and over again.
