CD Reviews

A pristine recording of one of the groovyest bands in NYC!

"Topaz has once again brought his special blend of Jazz, funk and soul to life on this latest disc. I have been a fan since I first saw them play at Izzybar, one of my favorate haunts. At the time I felt like there was a void of really good groovy music that did not assume you were an intelect-free individual. Topaz brings so much emotion, personality and fire to his music, and does it so uniquely that he is compleately undeniable. I was at the record realese show for this recording and after the performance thought ,"There is no way that the record sounds like this!, This is next level". You know what, the record is OUTSTANDING. The music is approchable and revealing, and the musicianship is top notch. If you love jazz, funk, soul or anything in between, you should buy this record."

"I really can't say enough good things about this album. Having never heard of Topaz I received a comp copy of "Listen" about a year ago and was really, really impressed. Not at all your usual mix of jazz/funk/groove/whatever, this album showcases some real talent with some great sounds. I can only imagine how good these guys are in a live setting."
