CD Reviews

From Jazz to Eternity

ksaba | Long Island, NY USA | 05/14/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Beginning to See the Light" opens with the title track; first the piano, inviting you along, then the drums roll in like an ocean wave, cymbal crashes as the wave that crashed over Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in "From Here to Eternity" and the song explodes into the same passion as that incredible kiss.
The seductive power of "Honeysuckle Rose" leaves little doubt as to the sugar of which Tamer is singing. "Que Rico," an original composition with a Latin flair will start toes tapping and have you up and dancing in no time. In "Singin' in the Rain," when he reaches the line, "Come on with the rain / there's a smile on my face," you know that it's true and can't help smiling along.
Not all is such fun. The longing in "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" brings to your eyes the tears heard in his voice, and Tamer's "God Bless the Child" will leave you wondering if you've been listening to father or child.
It does end on a light note, the only sadness being that it is the end. As "Bye Bye Blackbird" fades out we can hear him wink and wave and whisper, "Until next time." Looking forward to it!"
