The way pop jazz ought to be played
S M | 06/18/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Pop, or lite jazz is one of the hardest forms to do because too often it can sound like Muzak, aka formulaic and uninspired. Miles Davis and Wes Montgomery were able to play pop/lite jazz in a superb manner.



There is a bit of Wes, plus George Benson in Brian's playing, with a bit of Pat Methany world beat theme. Quality stuff.



By the way, why does Amazon include a 'NO' in 'was this review helpful to you?'. People are only human and don't like opinions that differ from themselves, thus the 'NO' makes it too easy express such displeasure.



Are they trying to discourage negative reviews, hence not purchase the CD. Such reviews only help a person in not being dissatisfied a product that received positive reviews

Very good cd.

"Light and moving jazz which really emphasises Brian's moving guitar.This cd beats "Shakin not stirred" and "One 2 one".I would consider this Brians Hughes best effort.Trumpeter extraordinaire Chris Botti accompanies Hughes on Cruisin Route 66.Son y Lola, quickens the pace with Latin flavored and Cuban inspired rhythms. Well versed in world music, Hughes shines. Brian HUghes slows it down a bit on Omaha Unbound where the song is performed on acoustic guitar in a country style, this number is mesmerizing and reflective. It's an easy listen for the ears! Joining Brian Hughes on this record are: Les Portelli (piano and synthesizers), Tim Landers (electric and acoustic bass), Neil Wilkinson (drums) and Jason Hann (percussion). Each musician is exceptional in their own right and together they are an outstanding ensemble!



In conclusion, this cd is very good and it is worth the wait.I am happy I purchased it.
