5 out of 5 stars Guitar jazz at its finest.......2004-08-09

I had the pleasure of seeing Melvin Sparks for the first time as an opening act for Derek Trucks, and was totally overwhelmed. Smooth, fluid licks flow from his fingers and create some of the most memorable jazz tracks I've heard in recent years. The combination of his catchy guitar playing, along with some awesome B3'ing, alto sax, and drums makes for a very powerful album.
Highlights of this album include The Governor (you can catch that one live if you see him every now and again), Matter of Time, Another Joe, and the album closer (my personal favorite) Breeze. If you're a big fan of guitar along the styles of Joe Pass, you'll love Melvin Sparks.
