5 out of 5 stars Seduces your senses and arouses your soul.......2000-04-29

Aside from a useless instruemntal cover of "I Can Love You Like That", every song on this album will get your libido rising. And if you doubt me, I dare you to listen to the title track and NOT start doing a little bump and grind.

The first half of the album is mostly original slow ballads, with some covers of classics. The songs with lyrics here fare better than the purely instrumental ones, thanks to guest vocals from Patti Labelle and Teena Marie. Ms. Williams fares better as an instrumentalist on faster numbers like "Ladies Night" and the aforementioned "Saxtress".

But Ms. Williams is technically proficient, and on this sort of CD emotion counts for more anyway. And yes, it's as sensuous and emotional and romantic as you could wish. A perfect CD to set the perfect mood!

5 out of 5 stars Saxtress, temptress, seductress...........2000-03-29

Pam Williams is one of those word of artists who comes along every once in a while to shake things up...she is on note with mostly all the smooth jazz saxophonists--the G's, the Koz's, the Braun's--but with a seductress' sensuality. Note: the female version of that bedroom tune "The Secret Garden" with vocal solos by siren Patti Labelle and 'Wild and Peaceful' Teena Marie oozes carnal knowings. The funk hits the air with the title track, "The Saxtress"--it kinda reminds me of some of Tom Scott's work. Plus, it doesn't hurt one iota that she is quite a beauty..."The Saxtress" is smooth jazz for the (jazz) lover in you.

5 out of 5 stars This is girl power, saxophone-style........1999-06-14

Pamela Williams, along with fellow saxgirl Candy Dulfer, has blazed a new trail for women in jazz. Because of those two, more girls are taking up the saxophone in their school band. I like Williams' renditions of All-4-One's "I Can Love You Like That" and Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman." It would be a crowning achievement for Williams if she did a duet with Dulfer. I think they should do a remake of that Grammy-winning hit "The Boy is Mine," which was first performed by R&B superstars Brandy and Monica. Dulfer should play Brandy's part, and Williams can take Monica's. I'm looking forward to the day they get together for that. And I'll be looking for more from these two talented women.

5 out of 5 stars This proves to me that a woman can also play the saxophone........1999-06-11

I've listened to this album for quite a while now, and I must admit Pamela Williams is jazz's best-kept secret! I also have an album from another female saxophonist (Candy Dulfer), and ever since I've listened to Williams, I'm now comparing Dulfer and Williams to R&B superstars Brandy and Monica. I recommend this album to anyone who agrees with my discovery that a woman can play the saxophone as well as, say, Dave Koz, Kenny G and Najee. I'll be looking for more from this talented woman in the future. (In Williams' next album, she should definitely do a duet with Dulfer on a remake of the hip-hop jam "The Boy is Mine." Dulfer can take Brandy's part, and Williams may have Monica's.) You go, girl!
