Sax Grooves Galore.......2002-01-06

This is a very upbeat, funky, urban groove collection produced by Down To The Bone saxman Paul "Shilts" Weimer. It's hard to say anything bad about this cd other than the steady hip-hop beat does get a little monotonous after the first 4-5 tunes (as mentioned by the previous reviewer) & I would have enjoyed more extended sax solos. Every track is 5-6 minutes long and the only track that slows it down a bit is #9 - "Your Place Or Mine". My favorites are the title track and "Mind The Gap", which got me interested in Shilts when I heard it on a local jazz station. The 5th track, "Short Island Iced Tea" has a nice Latin flavor. I bought this cd together with "Natural High - Pacific", which definitely suffers by comparison. If you think Shilts is monotonous, Tim Best will put you to sleep on "Pacific".

Uninteresting party jams that don't hold the listener.......2001-11-29

I picked this cd up based on a great review in Jazz Times magazine. The first two tracks are ok, but after that the cd became very repetitive and IMO boring. Each tune has pretty much the same canned drum beat and the bass player hangs on to one note for dear life. Shilts is a pretty good sax player who seems heavily influenced by Maceo Parker, but he's not someone I'd go out of my way to find out more about. None of the tunes stood out as being particulary good (or bad for that matter) although track 4 "Down in the Village" stayed with me because I swear the opening riff is Whitesnake's "Slide It In" (which doesn't surprise since Shilts has played with Jimmy Page, a contemporary of David Coverdale).

I recommend passing on this cd unless you're just looking for background music for your next barbecue w/hip-hoppers and folks with some interest in jazz. Instead check out Maceo Parker's "Funk Overload".

Sax Player Extraordinaire!.......2001-09-18

I had the great pleasure seeing Shilts perform as lead sax and front man for Down To The Bone last June at House Of Blues in Orlando and was literally blown away with his incredible sax playing! I found out his solo debut CD was to be released at that time and would have purchased it much sooner had I not been away from home for the past several months. SEE WHAT HAPPENS arrived today and I was literally blown away again by Shilts even after several listens. SEE WHAT HAPPENS features some of the best musicians in the UK along with DTTB band members Tony Remy on guitars and Paul Turner on bass. If you want want to hear one of the hottest sax players around buy this CD! DTTB fans will not be disappointed either.
