"I recently stumbled upon a really great saxophonist, and his name is Alfonzo Blackwell. This sexy sax man really knows his stuff. My dad loves smooth jazz music and he had his new CD "Dance To This" playing recently in his truck. I asked him, what was the saxophonist's name and now I'm a fan!
The title track, "Dance To This" is real hot! There's a track called "Back It Up", that's the funkiest song that I've heard in a long while. The horn blasts over the music with a vengeance. I never heard a sax player like this. He's got to be the best player out there today. I mean, my dad listens to Boney James and older guys like Sanborn but this man is not comparable to them at all. His style is very different. He's funky and soulful.
You got to get this CD; you won't be disappointed."
Alfonzo Blackwell Is On Fire!!!

"I just got Alfonzo B.'s new CD Dance To This and it is smokin' hot. I can't believe that this CD is so good. I know that he always puts a funky R&B twist on smooth jazz but this CD is hotter that I expected. He's definitely knocking down doors with this new project. I use to play the saxophone and dabbled with the drums back in high school, so I can really appreciate Mr. B's skills. If you wanna "wake up"...people, this is the album to get! Dance To This, Back It up and Talkin' Saxy are my choice picks off of the album."
This Sax Man Keeps Getting Better and Better!

"Oh my...Alfonzo Blackwell is such an AMAZING artist! He writes all of his own music and plays just about every instrument that's out there. He touches my heart like no other artist. He is the sexiest sax player in the history of music.
His music takes me to places that are spiritual and magical. His tone is smooth. He is one of those living legends that music will live on for decades and be studied. His music is pure.
I've been listening to his music for over ten years now. I'm so excited that Alfonzo has released his new CD "Dance To This". I heard some heart-pounding tracks on his website.
"This Is Real", "Take A Look" and "Talking Saxy" are some of my favorites. He glides so effortlessly throughout each track and tantalizes my senses.
I highly recommend purchasing this CD for your listening pleasure!

"Well, I don't know where to start with Alfonzo Blackwell. His music is so different because it has a combination of soul, funk and a rhythm where we can just move and feel that groove in our body by listening to his amazing music. I have heard many Jazz music but this New CD "DANCE TO THIS" is the best Jazz CD I have ever heard. This is my first time listening to his wonderful music. When I listen to his music and the selections he has put together in this CD, It is so inspirable. By listening to his NEW CD I feel calm, happy and I want to groove to his music. I have to say "WOW" what a great combination in this CD.
After hearing his great NEW CD "DANCE TO THIS" I am purchasing all the other CD's that he has released before. I Love the way he play's his Saxophone. That instrument is just made for him. When I listen to his CD his music brightens my sprit. I have been looking for a CD like this for a long time. I was not able to find a CD like this till I found his CD. I thank Alfonzo for releasing a Wonderful CD like "Dance TO THIS". Please keep on releasing more CD's to your fans. His God given gift, only he can share with others.
I hope one day he will perform in Canada. I know he will be loved by so many fans from this country. I am waiting for that wonderful day for him to visit us.
Well done with your wonderful CD "DANCE TO THIS" I will advise every one to listen to this CD.

"Yo' you got to buy this CD. Every track is hitting hard and slammin'! This guy is the real deal, man. My cousin turned me on to Alfonzo Blackwell a few years ago. I was a fan immediately since his last joint, "Sax You Down".
But his new joint - Dance To This is the truth, ya' heard. Dance To This, Take A Look, Talkin' Saxy and Back It Up are ridiculous. Alfonzo's down for whatever way of production and sax tracks are in your face fire.
