CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Chuck Loeb stands out among contemporary guitarists, with his bright sound, crystal-clear octaves, and crisp rhythms. He covers a lot of musical ground on Listen, ranging from gently propulsive ballads like "Geraldine" and "Love Is All" to soul grooves like "Silver Star" and the rousing, extroverted play of "High Five" and "Right Down Broadway." You can feel the empathy between Loeb and his guests, including pianists Mitchell Forman and Bob James, bassist John Patitucci, and saxophonist Kim Waters. As well as crafting a series of strong original tunes, Loeb can create surprising covers. He turns Michael Jackson's "Rock with You" into a moody, touching ballad. --Adam Rains Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsI had to find it Michelle D. Mcgriff | Portland, OR | 10/08/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I heard Blue Kiss one afternoon on my fav jazz station in transit and you know they hardly ever say the name of the songs or the artist on those stations so needless to say I ran straight to the store and sent everyone in that record store on a mad hunt for the CD based on my own rendition of the melody. It was worth the embarrassment hehehe. I found it and I love it! I couldn't stop listening to it once I got home. This is my first Chuck Loeb CD and it won't be my last." Very nice! Definitely one to put on repeat... Michelle D. Mcgriff | 09/20/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm fairly new to Chuck Loeb's music, but I think "Listen" is going to prove to be my favorite among all his CD's. This CD is fantastic for a bunch of reasons: a really nice variety of tunes, excellent sidemen, and fantastic arrangements. Loeb's gentle, understated rendering of Russell Ferrante's composition "Geraldine" is absolutely beautiful and keyboardist Mike Ricchiuti has the most wonderful touch on this tune. But the great thing is that on this same album you also get the fun, Latin-flavored Chiringita and the fantastically uptempo and fun "Right Down Broadway" with Mitchel Forman smokin' on keyboards. This latter track really shows off the jazz talents of all involved. The only thing I don't really like about this CD is the slowed down version of Michael Jackson's "Rock With You." That tune just doesn't seem like it should be played that slowly. But apart from that, this is one fantastic CD. Betcha after the first time you hear it, you'll have to press repeat!" This guy knows what he's doing CF Pittsburgh | 01/24/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Chuck Loeb is a total pro. He plays superbly. His sidemen & women are first rate. The tunes are cool. The arrangements are excellent. If you like refined, professional, smooth work with a hip feel, you'll like this CD."
