The first volume of this long-running series of "quiet storm" classics is also one of the best. Among the '70s and early-'80s soul ballads included are several that helped define the popular radio format: the long live version of Earth, Wind & Fire's "Reasons," Heatwave's "Always and Forever," and Larry Graham's "One in a Million You." Where later Smooth Grooves CDs get bogged down in prettiness for its own sake, the performances here are marked by regret (Teddy Pendergrass's eternal "Love T.K.O.," Champaign's "How 'Bout Us") or a true sweetness (the Manhattans' "Shining Star"). The finest are music of the soul, music that deserves to be heard with or without a lover around. --Rickey WrightCustomer Reviews:

This is a good example of why 70s-80s compilations are best.......2002-07-08
When buying whole albums, artists nowadays tend to run out of musical ideas about 1/2 way through the CD. And even for those artists that have a never ending supply of new ideas, you can tired of the same voices and the same musicians contained in a single album.
With this CD, neither of those things is an issue. If you want to set someone in the mood to get out of their clothes, this can be a critical tool in that quest.
A winner!.......2002-02-21

A JAZZERS DELIGHT !!.......2001-04-13
Urban Knights makes for a tasty rhythmic apéritif and before you have a chance to shout encore your sent reeling into Oscar Lopez's hypnotic latino spell. Rushing headlong on through Warren Hill's talented soulful performance on the saxophone your greeted by Cuba L.A exciting and heady interpretation of Whisper Not (my personal favourite). Savour a while those hot, spicy Cuban nights and shimmy out on the dance floor to surrender to the rhythm. Of course they could only follow it with Scott Wilkie, a great talent in his own right, such vibrant and refreshing key work. Of course Fruit Sandwich gives you an appetite for a little Escape and this you can certainly do as you lose yourself in another fine example of some passionate keywork. Alex de Grasi provides us with the only vocal experience on the album and although not normally my forte I have to say its a first rate well produced track. Rushing headlong into the penultimate track your greeted by the Ramsey Lewis Trio performing Close Your Eyes and Remember and boy do you remember this one. This another favourite of mine being a lover of the jazz guitar and I love what I consider to be great tender mood music. Toots Thielemans spine chilling talent on the harmonica finally shows us that it really is Hard to Say Goodbye. This last track for me is another favourite which is good down to the very last drop and comes to an end all too disappointingly soon.
In essence one of those albums that provides a great talent filled experience right the way through and definitely an album you'll be proud to have in your collection. SUBERB VALUE FOR MONEY!!

Saying the smooth-jazz genre has a foundation seems oxymoronic. But, back in the mid-1980s, when KIFM-San Diego, KTWV-Los Angeles, and WNUA-Chicago first went on the air, contemporary jazz musicians were recording music aimed straight at the public's heart, not toward what radio programmers were thinking. Most of the music on the first of this three-volume retrospective reflects that postfusion period of the late 1970s and early 1980s before the term "smooth jazz" existed. It was a time when technically brilliant and commercially successful musicians--such as Ronnie Laws, Bob James, David Sanborn, and the Yellowjackets--were rejecting disco and mixing together rock, jazz, funk, European classical, pop, and New Age music. The resulting sound managed spirited rhythms, interesting harmonies, and quality improvised solos, unlike much of the smooth jazz that would follow. At least half the tracks here, including the first four, are smooth-jazz radio standards. Other tracks, such as Rodney Franklin's "Song for You," Mike Mainieri's "Wanderlust," and "May I Have This Dance," from the exciting Brazilian group Azymuth, are out-of-print gems that alone make this compilation worth having. --Mark RuffinCustomer Reviews:

Ultimate Smooth Jazz Collection!.......2000-08-28
One of the gems on this disc is the theme from T.V.'s "Taxi", a smooth jazz classic, written and performed by Bob James. Check out the work he did on the "Karen Carpenter" solo album, if you like great vocals with some great smooth jazz. Bob arranged, orchestrated and played many of the tunes on her album.
