Brilliant, and for a worthwhile cause

"Let me start by saying I'm a smooth jazz fan. This album is just brilliant. Many different styles are here, from slow and peaceful, funk, fusion, latin, it's all here. The sounds are original and refreshing. Nothing is re-hashed. I can't tell you how much I enjoy listening to this album. The Rippington's Russ Freeman also helps out on the title track. If you go to David's website, you can read a little on the album's purpose and sad influence. Again, in a word, brilliant."

"I love this album. It has so many colors and flavors it is impossible to categorize. Yes, it's Jazz but then it's not. I love the fact that this artist has given the listener 14 original tunes instead of going cover crazy. However, the one cover tune he chose is amazing. Elton Johns' "Don't let the sun go down on me" It's the last track on the album. It is the best cover of it I have ever heard, truly a masterful arrangement.
Every time I listen to it, the sound changes and I hear different instruments that I didn't think were there before. Do yourself a favor and wear headphones with this album it's a mental message.
I'll report back on the other tracks later.
