"Marion Meadow's "Other side of midnight" has a touch of R&B that will surely put you in the mood!Marion's clarinet is in a class by itself, a gorgious blend of smooth & sensuous jazz. If you don't a must for your collection! Can't wait for his next cd."
" Truly smooth jazz "ÿ

"Marion's sax is the true meaning of smooth & sexy,songs like "sunset moon" "another side of midnight" their about as smooth as icing on a cake! plus a beautiful blend of R&B! this cd really " kicks " a must for your collection!"
"What a great tone on the soprano. Intonation is impeccable and Marion can produce extrodinarily long phrases with his circular breathing. Improvisation sections become stale and repetative with few interesting chordal suprises, but I guess this is not a requirement for smooth jazz. Beats are awesome and moods relaxing and romantic. I've heard Marion compared to Kenny G, but he is, in my opinion, far superior to kenny's whining tone. If you like this albumn and are looking for a little more depth, you would probably enjoy Branford Marsalis: Requiem"
Inspirational Pleasure

"A truly inspired work beyond comprehension, Marion Meadows is a wonderful smooth jazz saxophone artist that knows how to set the mood, whether sensuous or funky. If you want music for a romantic evening, this is the one to have. Also turning on the heat are the additions of Norman Brown and Mark Antoine. One of the most overlooked artists of today, Marion is far and away the best!"
Beautiful Music

"I am an avid listener of Marion Meadows music. I have all of his CDs and I have to say that each one is better than the last (as it should be). The Other Side of Midnight is wonderful. Sunset Moon and 4AM are my favorites. Who in the world could make [someone gifted from God] such beautiful music? His music is truly melodious, and its as if you are right there with him. You can actually feel his music. I had the pleasure of meeting Marion while he was performing with Norman Connors this summer and both were great. I found him to be incredibly humble, and one that does not take his talent for granted. In my opinion, Marion is the best soprano sax TODAY!"
