Jazzawhat?.......2003-04-13

With enough name-dropping for a few dozen records, the liner
notes of this album describe Hypnotic Safari not as a safari of animals
but of guitars. Not a great analogy, but for a guitar enthusiast this might
be an intriguing album. Jazz guitarist Wayne Wesley Johnson hooks up
with New Age flamenco guitarist Ruben Romero to produce what Johnson
calls "jazzamenco" - a name I hope he soon gives up on - but no matter,
you get the picture. At its worst, this is good elevator music, and at
its best, it's relaxing, jazzed-up flamenco.

We liked this CD a lot.......2003-02-12

I am more of a fan of Flamenco than Jazz...but we played this CD start to finish and were happily humming along. I wasn't the only one at home who enjoyed it at home, which tells me that "Hypnotic Safari" has a very broad appeal. The guitar is very clean and crisp, and the tunes are snappy or relaxingly mellow. Very enjoyable, and the term "hypnotic" really did describe the feeling.

If you are a fan of Ottmar Liebert, you'd probably also like this particular CD from Wayne Wesley Johnson and Ruben Romero. The sound is very polished, and the cuts blend from one to the next smoothly. I found I could play this CD from start to finish without having to skip over the bits I didn't like.

A Full Five Stars Rating For This Flamenco Guitar CD !!.......2000-11-09

When I received this CD I sat on it for awhile, because I had several others I wanted to listen to first. I should have played this one FIRST. Hypnotic Safari is an exceptional work by some very talented musicians. I always liked flamenco guitar music, but this is the best I've ever heard. I truly enjoyed each track on the CD. Every song is super, and worth listening to over and over. If you're relaxing, reading the paper or working around the house, you can still enjoy this effort. If you've never tried flamenco guitar, try this CD. Believe me, it's infectious. Add it to your collection, you'll enjoy it !!

A real winner!.......2000-11-04

I have reviewed music before and the artist were of my choosing. When I was asked to review this album I wasn't sure of what to expect. After listening to the cd I must admit that there is real undiscovered talent in Wayne Wesley Johnson.

This easy listening music extravaganza is simply some of the best music ever recorded and my only regret is that I did not get a chance to listen to it before. There is 60 minutes on 11 tracks that will both entertain and relax you at the same time.

Simply amazing is all I can say about the way the music blend a Spanish mix with jazz and a little r&b. Johnson makes the music flow and before you know the 60 minutes is up and you'll find yourself replaying the cd over and over again.

With a sound that is sure to please all lovers of music this album is first rate and loaded with the sounds that sooth. A sure fire winner and you have to hear it to believe it.

truly hypnotic.......2000-04-20

New age, jazz,and flamenco guitar - what a combination. It goes right to my soul. This type of music was new to me and an incredible surprise. I was captivated by it when I heard it playing in a retail store. I HAD to have it. It IS hypnotic. I play it when I need to unwind and escape my everyday frantic pace. It does mentally transport me elsewhere. I hope to find other music by this duo.
