"LA studio monsters get together for a mishmash of fuzak and R&B .
I respect all of the artists on the album,but there is way too much GRP fuzak influence on this thing.
Alex Ligertwood has dynamite vocal chops and does a nice cover of Josie,but most of the rest of the stuff is "quiet storm" elevator product.
In fact,it reminds me of Stuff.
This is album is to jazz as white zinfandel is to wine.
Blended for the pseudo hip."
Giving Back - It sure does...

"What a CD, pure joy to listen to,up there with Fourplay. I played this cd non stop for days and came away with something different each time.
As Molley Meldrum would say "do yourself and favour and buy this CD" you won't be sorry."
Awesome CD!!

"Live365.com and David Peck of Promowizard Management alerted me to this new artist. The musical support on this recording reads like a who's who in the Jazz world. Gerald Albright, Michael & Randy Brecker, Paul Jackson Jr., Eric Marienthal, Greg Phillinganes, Lee Ritenour and more! Together they give David the right touches and provide an outstanding recording. "Desert Hideaway" is the signature track. Gerald Albright's sax playing is just awesome. "Sweet PC" is another great track, with great assistance from Albright, Jackson and Phillinganes. There's also a hip version of the Steely Dan classic, "Josie" which displays the guitar talents of Steve Farris, better know as "The Wizard". From beginning to end, this CD is very fulfilling and fun to listen to. Highly, highly recommended!"
