Jimmy Reid - For The Family (recommended CD)

[Glen B]

Smooth jazz lovers, I highly recommend this CD. I don't think you will be disappointed. Its a groovy blend of smooth jazz and R&B, well recorded, and a disc you can put in the player and listen to from beginning to end. I see its on sale for only $7.50 at CD Universe right now.

Thanks, Glen.

Just checked out the samples via the link you provided. Sounds like an album to add to my collection.

Keiko Matsui also has a new release "The Road..." out. I got the CD on Monday and I am really enjoying it. It another fine album from her. If you liked Moyo, you will also like The Road. Here are a couple of tracks:

Wow, Glen... I must admit, I'm a little shocked you remember I like Keiko Matsui. It's been forever since that thread ran. 8)

I didn't know she had a new release. Thanks again for the heads up. I really like her work. Going to check out You Tube shortly.

I just finish listening to them. As always, spectacular! She is a fantastic artist. I am just floored by her arrangements. What a talent.

Thanks again!

Yeah, I have a few of her albums too, and have more on my Amazon wish list. Got interested based on discussion here in HTGuide, and I probably wouldn't have ever heard of her otherwise. Good to know she's got a new one out. Have to add that to my Amazon wish list too. Thanks! Hard on the pocketbook, but I get many great recommendations here for music.

I did pick up "The Road..." and have listened through it a few times. I like it, but I think I like "Moyo" and "Sapphire" better. Still good arrangements, but not quite the same fusion, IMHO. It was still a good purchase.
