4 out of 5 stars Cache' still good good 12 years later.......2005-03-23

Kirk's 4th solo release. A Columbia/Sony production with many guest artists including my personal favorites Marcus Miller and Gerald Albright. So many tunes are still hot! Although some have classified the CD as containing ordinary music, Kirk's sax speaks anything but ordinary sounds. Although there are several covers, the original tunes have pieces of jazz,R&B-soul, early hip/hop and certainly some gospel themes. Since thre were many copies sold, it is fairly easy to get your hands on. Worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars PERFECT FUSION.......2003-12-29

More than ten years after its release (can it be that old already?!), this albums still sounds to me like the perfect crossover between jazz, pop,soul and funk. I do not know of a single friend who didn't rave about that record after they heard it! It contains enough showstoppers to make you play it over and over again. I know it was in my player every single day for at least three months after its release, and I still listen to it with great enjoyment today.

"X-Factor", which displays the incredible talents of Philippe Saisse and Marcus Miller, is one of the best funky tracks I've ever heard, while "Love Saw It" is the other masterpiece of the album, a gorgeous, poignant ballad in which Kirk's tenor and Gerald Albright's alto engage in soulful conversation. Though I never was much into Albright's playing, this track brought tears to my eyes on first listening, and still moves me tremendously. "Over The Rainbow" is plain and simple, just sax and piano, but shines as one of the best covers of that tune ever, as far as I'm concerned. Kirk's and guest vocalist Brenda Russell's cover of Sting's "Fragile" is a must, even better in many respects than the original version, certainly better than any previous or later cover, and that says something, doesn't it? "Love is a Losing Game", a beautiful sad ballad by guest vocalist Jevetta Steele (of Bagdad Cafe fame) is another highlight of this highly enjoyable record.

Though 'Cachý' may not be the best jazz record nor the best funky album around, it is certainly one of the best ever examples of a musical fusion that can satisfy a wide scope of listeners, and this latter aspect is far from being a weakness ; in fact, I believe touching a maximum of people through one's art should be any artist's foremost goal... Well, Kirk, you did succeed at that with this here record, big time !

4 out of 5 stars i saw it!.......2003-06-26

someone please say su'm bout 'love saw it'! any saxophonist would agree this is probably the best duet between an alto and tenor they have ever heard. (maybe the only). gerald albright is on alto, and he was with the byron allen show band, back in the 80's. if you enjoy traditional jazz, you might like gerald's cd, 'giving myself to you'. for jamming purposes, i recommend kirk's 'for you' album. for rhythm, 'the promise' cd shakes it up. i don't like gospel stuff, so i didn't like 'in this life' (totally different style than the others). still, i put on this cd at times just to hear 'love saw it'. why? because the two saxophonists compete and cooperate at improvisation toward the climax. if ever brass were in danger of catching on fire, these two geniuses come close. shhhhhh... look furtively both ways... they actually think before they play something, and don't copy other musicians' ideas! novel.

5 out of 5 stars This CD is the complete bomb........1999-02-16

One of my favorite songs on the CD is the X-Factor.Kirk Whalum is a musical genius when it comes to playing his horn.He plays with so much passion,fire and intensity it is hard to keep still.I highly recommend this CD,as a matter of fact,I recommend any of his CDs. Toni Redd
