"Spur of the moment is one of the most versatile and entertaining bands I've ever seen. Its too bad they didn't include some of the hot tracks that I have the pleasure of hearing them play in the MD/DC area on a bi-weekly basis. "People make the world go round", and anything they do by Earth Wind and Fire are my favorites. Not to mention their own, "In my corner" and others. If you get to seem them, do it! If you're thinking about buying there CD's, do it."
Out of the Shadows is fantastic!!

"After a hard day at work, slip out of those clothes, pour a glass of your favorite wine, light a slow-burning candle, and, either with a significant other or all by yourself, step into a warm, tingly bubble bath and forget the Calgon, let Spur of the Moment take you away..... This CD is excellent from the very first cut -- EZ Street -- which is sooo, soooo smooth. People talk about Maysa's contribution to the CD, which is great on track #6 Longer than Forever. But be sure to check out Kenny Allen's vocals on tracks 3, 9 and 11. And his keyboard talents are especially super on track #2 In Key as well as on EZ Street. Each band member SHOWS OFF on this CD, each one of them! I can't get enuff of sax man Brian, mainly on tracks #7 Tears, #12 For Me and #13 I Believe I Can Fly. This CD is a must-have."

"I met Kenny when he was 9 years old, he was a pest! If I had any Idea there was that much talent in those hands, I would not have smacked them, I would have kissed them.I got the CD while in Maryland on Vacation, and played it all the way to INDIANA, Now thats smooth! I loved how "Your in my Corner" was the proper love song for the road, totally inspiring. And "Longer than Forever" just did'nt seem long enough. I tell ya, anytime I'm having the out of D.C. blues, "Spur of the Moment" get the nod to the CD player."
Smooth, Sexy and Sensual

"I am listening to Spur as I type this review and it is the most sexy, sensous music I have heard in a long time. I have never heard of this group before I was given this CD and I was totally blown away. At first, there rendition of "I Believe I Can Fly" was my ultimate favorite, but the more I listened to it, it became hard to choose a favorite. "For Me" is excellent,as is "In Key", "Somehow I Know" and others. I can't wait to see them live. This definitely goes to the top of my favorite jazz groups. I'll be looking for some of their earlier work. Keep up the good work Spur. You have a real fan here."

"Spur of the Moment has done it again. I used to live in the Wash DC area and I had the pleasure of seeing Spur perform on many occasions. They never disappointed me. With this album, the addition of Maysa and the other vocal and background enhancements, they have taken that necessary step to get "Outside the Beltway". BUY IT! The day will soon come when this long underrated group will be Huge and we'll be able to say we own their early recordings (which, of course, I do)."
