"I heard the song Megalith on a community radio station in Tampa a few years ago and immediately called the station to find out WHO in the world these guys were. T-Square is at the top of their game as they rip through Megalith. It may be my favorite jazz song ever. The remaining songs are each wonderful, as this U.S. release is a "Best Of" compilation. Romantic City has a hot caribbean feel. Miss You echoes David Sanborn's sense of melody. Route 405 is a funky trip down the coast. The lilt and pace of Mr. Mellow evokes Ronnie Laws at his best. In fact, every "smooth jazz" artist ought to be required to listen to T-Square. In my mind, these guys set the standard for smooth jazz. In addition, the musicianship is absolutely amazing. I am currently exploring the imports of T-Square, so more to some later. Sell you Kenny G at the garage sale and invest in T-Square. Your friends will say " who in the world is THAT?" Exactly."
