Very Pleasantly Surprised.......2001-08-23

See, I don't even like this kind of music generally. I like John Schofield when he's NOT doing the funk thing (e.g., Works for Me). MMW I only occasionally enjoy.

So what's different? I don't know. This just works. Maybe it's the joy factor. Pretty high here. Lot's of fun. Check it out.

Don't think of not not buying this great CD.......2001-07-06

Funny enough, when I read the reviews of the other folks that enjoyed this CD, I liked the songs that they disregarded/overlooked ie: #3 uganda, #6 spellbound, #8 the birth of life, and #10 people unite. All I have to say is there's obviously something here for everyone. I'm looking forward for any future releases. Can Ward and Goldings outdo this fantastic first release? I hope so and I'm going to snap it up immediately.

Larry and Bob, give us another CD SOON!.......2000-12-03

This mix of Jazz with music from other cultures is as effective and interesting as anything The Pat Metheny Group has done. The vibe work was superb, especially on "You Dig". Several cuts, such as "Spellbound" have a bolder than usual, yet not overbearing, bass line tying everything together. Fantastic guitar and sax throughout. Cudos to Voodoo Dogs for keeping most tracks upbeat...."smooth jazz" listeners beware, this may not be for you. I'm ordering four more copies as Christmas gifts. Too bad this isn't a double CD.

Five more copies, please...........2000-10-30

Since I first put it on, I've been listening to this CD several times a day. Guitarist and engineer Bob Ward and keyboardist Larry Goldings (with the help of saxophonist Tim Ries and other friends) have put together a very impressive collection of tasty grooves, catchy melodic nuggets, fresh-sounding improvisations and classy sounds in this album which evokes the best of what might loosely be called "acid jazz" but transcends by far the cliches of this genre. The arrangements are sophisticated yet glow with the kind of effortlessness which most arrangers can only dream about capturing. I was given a copy, and am back to Amazon.com to buy some more copies for my friends!

Larry Goldings and Bob Ward make a perfect match.......2000-07-20

This CD gives us funk, jazz, smooth jazz as well as some pretty cool rock beats. Sounds like a bunch of drum loops were used, but Bob Ward mixed them perfectly and they don't offend. Larry Goldings, although not featured on all the tracks uses what he learned with Maceo Parker and really funks the place up. Great party music!
