Customer Reviews:

Fantastic CD.......2006-11-14

I purchase 20 to 30 smooth jazz CDs each year, and I recently purchased Sapphron Obois' self titled debut CD after seeing her perform on an old BET Jazz concert. I find her CD to one of the very best CDs I have bought in recent years. Sapphron's playing is excellent, but I find her song writing and melodies to be fantastic. If this were a Dave Koz or Mindy Abair CD, a number of songs would get regular radio airplay. If you want a great hidden gem in the smooth jazz world, I encourage you to add this CD to your collection.

A Great Find.......2004-01-22

I purchased this CD about 3 years ago and was not disappointed. There are a number of good cuts on this debut CD including Sweet Dreams, Let's Try Again, Soulmates, I Loved You Forever, and Sausalito. This CD is well worth it. I guess my only disappointment is we haven't heard from Sapphron since this debut CD.

Queen of Sax Soul.......2003-07-24

I'm a little late in my review of her first CD, but I could not be more entranced by her virtuosity. The proof for me is longevity and I have probably played this piece a few hundred times since buying it 2 years ago. Particularly arresting are Sweet Dreams, I loved You Forever, and Sausalito.
Sapphron catches a bitter-sweetness with her soprano sax that I have heard from no one.
Can it be that she has that edge of soul because she's a woman in a male dominated jazz world? Whatever it is she is immensely talented.
Let's hear some more, very soon.

One of the best players in the new generation.......2002-08-07

I grew up listening to Ronnie Laws, Grover Washington, and David Sanborn, so my opinion of many of the new generation of sax players is rather low. But a co-worker gave me this CD, and after hearing the first 30 seconds of the first cut, knew I had to revise my opinion. Her talent is evident. Sapphron Obois has gorgeous tone, and on a home theater system sounds superb.

I highly recommend it as an addition to your jazz collection, particularly if you are a sax fan.

The best soprano sax player out there.......2001-12-17

This artist is such an excellent sax player. She should have a major deal with serious financial backing. She puts most of the other top players to shame. great tone, perfect intonation, hip ideas and amazing production for a first CD. Very original music. Nice first CD. Good job Ms Obois.
