5 out of 5 stars AWESOME, GREAT , FANTASTIC CD.......2003-04-28

I purchased this on 4/25/03 and cannot seem to stop playing it. "old days, old ways" has that great EWF feel. This cd has a funk/jazz feel, but yet contemporary as well, I have been looking for this type of jazz for a while. This is cd is the reason why I love jazz. I look for jazz like this. The uptempo style will seriously get you into a groove. Reminds me of the late great GEORGE HOWARD style. I would give it 6 STARS. Great Jazz!!!

2 out of 5 stars On the other hand....I didn't like it.......2001-02-07

This is one of those CDs that tear your heart out; you know the kind -- the cut on the radio (Old Days)gets you excited, you purchase the disc and in the background, the record company is laughing because "you've been had"!! Simply put, this would have been a great CD if 1) the vocals were better (or, better yet, nonexistant), 2) Ronnie didn't try too hard to sound "urban", and 3) he could have resisted the urge to repeat the "hit" w/o vocals (will anyone really know the difference to choose?)

Word to the wise...if ya want Jazz, IT AIN"T HERE!!! Go get Ronnie's "Brotherhood" or the "Tribute to Eddie Harris" discs.

5 out of 5 stars Incredible piece of work.......2000-11-01

First of all the CD was difficult to find. Only able to hear it on the radio. The cut "Old Days Old Ways" would drive me out of my mind. I would change radio stations just looking for it. I have not heard anything so wonderful in a long time. Ronnie outdid himself. He mixes all music, leaves a message, plays dear to his heart and left me wanting more after the CD was done. I highly recommend this CD for all.
