Samples don't do justice to this CD.......1999-10-13

As an avid listener to this CD it struck me how little of this brilliant effort makes it into the samples. Golub consistently takes the listener on a journey with more twists and turns than any Raiders of the Lost Ark movie. It is his genius in combining his ideas, bending the direction and changing the flow of the music that makes his work so worthwhile. Combine that with a fluid and soulful guitar style that matches any sax and you have an experience that gets better and better with each play. A small sample just does not do justice to this music.

This is a fantastic CD!.......1999-08-10

Great, soulfull music. Lots of tunes that you just love the first time that you hear them!

Excellent!!.......1998-07-13

You'll love this one! Not only does Jeff astound us with his music, he IS the music. I've had the pleasure of witnessing Jeff in action, live. This was my first encounter with "Avenue Blue" and in my opinion, they stole the show.

The Blues and Jazz Riffs Control you, like no other.......1998-06-23

I have this album after seeing him in person if you like guitar that mimicks words, you'll love this one. This music is very controling and has a blues movement that you can not stop listening to

Ave blue awesome blows you away.......2006-05-01

Ave Blue,s 94, 96 & 97 cds were awesome they,ll blow you away one of the best cds of all times all of theses are.Dont miss out on your chance to get three awesome cds you must buy. George

Wow that hurts.......2006-03-07

How could he screw up Spooky...I mean come on he has to be trying almost...don't believe me listen to the sample. The only song that is half palatable comes last, and it's only saving grace is the kick of the bass that beats against the overdub. If you want something that is nice try Vince Guaraldi instead.

A great fusion/crossover album........1999-11-18

Moody, atmospheric,versatile and utterly compelling this is one fusion record that will convince even the jazz purists that there's still hope left in the area;the songs are inspired,yet subtle and flowing-great balance between interplay and the virtuosity of the players allowing for an incredible result.Not for the musically challenged...

fluid musicainship, great catchy tunes, a gem of a disc.......1999-02-05

Jeff Golub and his crew have got a relaxed and polished style- in the light jazz vein of say Bob James or the "Crusaders" They move from funky tunes, thru soulful ballads and on to rousing infectious uptempo grooves. This is really enjoyable instrumental work, familar but never hackneyed. The musicianship is exemplary, tight and inspired throughout. I'd put this disc in my top ten of the past three years- highly reccomended.

Introducing Jeff Golub........2007-03-13

This CD was my introduction to Jeff Golub. I heard his version of "Pick Up The Pieces" by Average White Band on the radio in `95, and I had to find out who the guitar player was. After several listens to the radio, waiting for them to play the song again, and eagerly awaiting someone to announce who it was, they finally did, and I bought the CD. I was not disappointed, as there are several gems on the CD. My favorites are: "Pick Up The Pieces" (A cool, bluesy remake of the Average White Band hit), "Gimme Some" (a funky, makes ya wanna dance kinda tune, with Jeff's bluesy licks), "That's The Way Of The World" (a soothing version of the Earth, Wind, & Fire hit), "Nightingale" (a positive, uplifting tune with some very cool jazz/blues guitar melodies), "I'll Be Around" (a nice remake of the soul hit, with Jeff playing octaves and his dazzling licks), and "Moon River" (another soothing jazz remake, with just Jeff and his guitar in the beginning, playing some fat jazz chords).
The CD also features a solid drum and bass section. There are electronic drums on this CD. As a musician, I tend to favor "real" drums, especially when playing in a live band situation, but I also enjoy experimenting with electronic drum beats, so this CD really appeals to me.
I would recommend this CD to anyone who is new to Jeff Golub, or who appreciates some tasty jazz/blues guitar playing and well crafted jazz/blues songs with a modern sensibility.

Nice work!.......2000-03-30

What sold me on this album is the tracks Stockholm prelude and Stockholm. This is exactly the type of guitar work I love, its too bad not many of the tracks have more of this. In fact many of the later works by Avenue Blue/Jeff G. had gone too mainstream /commercial Jazz that is really watered down and not as enjoyable as this one.

An avenue of treasures!.......1999-06-13

Jeff Golub's guitar licks are more satisfying than any thing George Benson has done in ages. A must-have collection.

superb.......1998-09-27

i found this to be an exceptional piece of music j eff golub can play!!!!!!!!!!!!! check out his cover of PICK UP THE PIECES!!!!!!! A MUST BUY

Tomlinson's Best Effort.......2006-09-12

Michael Tomlinson is an interesting talent. I place him somewhere between Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell in terms of his poetry skills and musical stylings. Others may disagree but I think this album represents his best effort. I bought it when it was first released in the early '80s, and I still listen to it today. It's a perfect album for a long drive with a special friend.

90's Trubador.......1998-11-14

Michael Tomlinson epitomizes the expression of 90's Vanguard Trubador. His arrangements and vocals weave a light tapestry of enlightenment and poetry. With each of his seven releases, he tells a beautiful story of life, love and friendship. This CD is a wonderful companion on a long drive, hike, jog or day at the beach. Each song reaches out to the next with a little bit of moral, a tad more story and a glimpse at the artist himself. One of my favorites!

A Surprising Find.......2007-03-12

The composers of these songs were almost all born in the second half of the 19th century. Their attempt was to create an "American music" from native American sources of rhythm and tonality. I get the same sense of hearing original music with these songs as I got the first time I heard Erik Satie. The songs tend to be melodic and peaceful and fresh. Don't expect much in the way of tom-toms and movie indian harmonies. I love to find songs that go to unexpected places. I found that here.

For a much more sophisticated review, search "American Indianists" and Fred Flaxman.

Nice International Folk Mix.......2002-04-01

Comparable to Sluz Duz with "Blue Mesa", "Majorie's Waltz", and countless other traditional Irish and Ukrainian tracks. Norman Blake's "Horizontal Hold", "Monkey On A Dog Cart and "Bury Me Beneath The Willow" makes for a nice Southern American change from the traditional Irish and Ukrainian tracks.
