4 out of 5 stars I like it but it's not the best.......2005-03-11

This CD does have some good tunes, but I won't say Beasley's performance in this album is worth saying "10 thumbs up!" I haven't heard his other albums, but I found his play is some what bland. Personally I prefer a bit more playfulness in a musician, so the melody is not the only thing that could move you. $0.02

5 out of 5 stars I must correct...........2004-07-30

Walter Beasley is NOT- I repeat NOT- 'smooth jazz'. Beasley has a talent on the sax that is near un-matched. He has a smooth, strong, and disciplined voice that rivals that of James Osborne, but is capable of Luther/Teddy riffs and touch.

I must say that I've seen Walter Beasley live, and the album pales in comparison. That is in no way a denigration of the album, but a wild and vivid endorsement of catching a live show if you can. If you are not fortunate enough to have that option, and if you like spirited, adventurous, and sometimes a touch 'sappy' jazz/blues, get this album, play it early and often, and then buy more.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Best.......2003-05-13

This is the one I select time and time again for my smooth jazz fix.

5 out of 5 stars A Jazz Virtuoso!!!.......2002-02-08

Who is not only technically perfect, but his music is awesome and focuses on the feeling of the songs, not just his technical perfection (as I often feel about Wynton Marsalis.) Great music to relax, drive a scenic highway, or make love by :)

I will buy some more of his albums and hope for the same quality!
