Relaxing, smooth, and all too enjoyable

"How can one dislike the flowing manner of these amazing musicians? If you are a true fan of jazz then this record is for you. If you're a mainsteam Davehead, then well, maybe you should start off your jazz exploration with something a little more mainstream. Trust me, I am a huge DMB supporter, but if in buying this record I wasn't really anticipating Dave's vocals or even Roi's eloquant sax riffs. I bought it for the music. You should do the same."

Bought it for Dave and Tim, but ended up liking it

"I've never heard of Soko, but it is great. Dave doesn't play a huge roll in the CD, but its great stuff even without getting it. A Great Modern day Jazz CD. Leroi plays great on almost all the tracks and Timmy tears Jiriki to shreds."

Wonderful Smooth Jazz

"This is an excellent compelation by very talented muscians. I too am a Dave Matthews Band fan which is what initially attracted me to the album. The reason I bought it however was becasue I am a fan of Jazz. This album is amazingly smooth, and as a fan of Piano, I really appreciated the smooth transitions and playing of Soko. The reason I give it only four stars is that I feel only the first five tracks (which happens to be the tracks that Leroi Moore, DMB sax guy extraordinare play on) are the only ones I really enjoyed. I didn't particularly liked the last three. I also have issues with some sloppy and excessive piano parts. This isn't to say there missed notes, just very excited and "busy" moments where the smoothness was lost. It was brief, however, so don't worry. Whereas I wouldn't go far to call this a "Must Have", if you enjoy jazz and don't mind spending for quality music, I highly recommend this."
