Listener Reviews & Comments
I purchased this whole CD about a week ago. I can't get it out of my player! For those of you who may not be aware, Denny Jiosa is arguably one of the top contemporary jazz guitarists in the world. It is mind numbing to experience the depth of the artistry displayed on this project. Straight-ahead Jazz, Latin (think Santana's heat), Smooth Jazz (not the lame stuff on most smooth jazz stations) and cinematic landscapes all unfold effortlessly giving us a glimpse into Denny's prodigious musical vocabulary. However, another thing I like is that he says more in 5 well-placed heartfelt notes than using 57 just because he could. Denny has an uncanny way of expressing deep emotions through the twists, turns and nuances of his seductive melodies. That's one of the main things I like about the CD is that I actually `feel' something when I'm listening to it! "Chill Pill" opens the CD with a funky contemporary groove with some surprises. How did he ever get Bobby Hebb (the original artist for "Sunny") to appear on the ultra-cool remake of that track with him? "I am Roxanne" is all about the sensual side of life (check out the smokin' video of this song as the CD is enhanced). "East of Montgomery" is Denny's homage to `Wes' and is just plain fun with some scorching licks thrown in. "Wounded Warrior" tears me up every time I hear it. The melody is gorgeous and I can't stop thinking about all the young men and women who have sacrificed so much for us. Sonically the CD's high production values make it audiofile all the way. I own all of Denny's discs and it has been fun to watch the growth from CD to CD. Each is amazing in its own way. Each has its own direction. With each new disc it is refreshing to see an artist stretch his chops to express his heart to us in new ways. So. . .do I like this CD? No - I LOVE it! Buy the full CD for its extras with a video interview and live footage. Buy this CD now! You won't be sorry!
