CD Reviews
One of the best players in the new generation

"I grew up listening to Ronnie Laws, Grover Washington, and David Sanborn, so my opinion of many of the new generation of sax players is rather low. But a co-worker gave me this CD, and after hearing the first 30 seconds of the first cut, knew I had to revise my opinion. Her talent is evident. Sapphron Obois has gorgeous tone, and on a home theater system sounds superb. I highly recommend it as an addition to your jazz collection, particularly if you are a sax fan."
A Great Find

"I purchased this CD about 3 years ago and was not disappointed. There are a number of good cuts on this debut CD including Sweet Dreams, Let's Try Again, Soulmates, I Loved You Forever, and Sausalito. This CD is well worth it. I guess my only disappointment is we haven't heard from Sapphron since this debut CD."
The best soprano sax player out there

"This artist is such an excellent sax player. She should have a major deal with serious financial backing. She puts most of the other top players to shame. great tone, perfect intonation, hip ideas and amazing production for a first CD. Very original music. Nice first CD. Good job Ms Obois."
Queen of Sax Soul

"I'm a little late in my review of her first CD, but I could not be more entranced by her virtuosity. The proof for me is longevity and I have probably played this piece a few hundred times since buying it 2 years ago. Particularly arresting are Sweet Dreams, I loved You Forever, and Sausalito.
Sapphron catches a bitter-sweetness with her soprano sax that I have heard from no one.
Can it be that she has that edge of soul because she's a woman in a male dominated jazz world? Whatever it is she is immensely talented.
Let's hear some more, very soon."
Awesome new performer

"Saffron Obois has got to be the hottest new sax artist arriving in jazz today. Having listened to this album, and also just experienced her preformance on TV's Jazz Central, I am totally stoked. Especially when she oozes forth her heartfelt tones from the soprano sax. Buy this album... take it home.... play it on your best sound system... turn out the lights... and just listen. You will not be dissapointed."
