Kirk Whalum - Ruby Ruby Ruby / The Wave / Aftertought |
| taken from the album Roundtrip |
| Comments: One of the top sax players in the world...This project includes a retrospective look back to some of Kirks past grooves with a new 2007 vibe....Check out the excellent rework of "The Wave"...the mellow laidback "Afterthought" and my favourite track "Ruby Ruby Ruby" a wonderful rework with guitarist Earl klugh....plenty of other tracks to explore too including Shanice on "Inside"...Enjoy ! |

Marcus Miller - "Free" Ft Corrine Bailey Rae & David Sanborn |
| taken from the album Free |
| Comments: Marcus is back !...This guy should carry a health warning when he plays that bass....check the "Funk joint"...also a great groove called "Strum"....Marcus plays Bass clarinet on "When I fall in love"...and his XXXL funky version of Stevie Wonders "Higher Ground"...but the big track for me is the very tasty rework of Deniece Williams "Free" with David Sanborn on sax and the angelic voice of Corrine Bailey Rae....A MUST ! |

Najee - Out Of A Dream / Can't Wait Another Minute / Various |
| taken from the album Rising Sun |
| Comments: My old friend Najee has been making music for over 21 years now... since his debut release "Najee's Theme" back in 1986...I have to say this is his best album to date"...you can quote me on that! LOL...The album starts with a rework of John Mayer's "Clarity"....another tasty track is "Brazilian Affair"...a couple of personal favs are "Out of a dream" and the beautiful vocal track "Can't wait another minute"...he also does a wonderful take on the classic James Moody composition "Moody'd mood for love"...there are other growers here like "Still in love", "Come what may", and the title track "Rising Sun" too...one of those rare "complete albums"..a MUST ! |
