Sound of guitar over shadowed by backup instruments .......2005-12-28

James Gabriano is a wonderful guitar player and gifted writer. However, on this CD, the impressive sound of his guitar is over shadowed by the other instruments, especially percussion. This CD would have been much more enjoyable and satisfying had the sound of Gabriano's talented guitar playing been more prevalent. I find this same problem with other smooth jazz artists who allow the other instruments to dominate the music.

Great stuff!.......2005-08-10

If you like jazz guitar with a little latin flare, than this is for you! Better than his previous effort.

Jazzy Babe!.......2005-02-20

This is a very good CD. My favorite song is Joey and Emma. Jazzy Babe!

A feast for your ears.......2005-02-19

This CD is perfect for everyone. It has hints of jazz, latin jazz and pop music. The sound is fresh and creative. It fits driving in the car, a romantic dinner, or a night of dancing. A great bet!
