4.0 out of 5 stars Smooth Jazz, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Benoit/Freeman Project (Audio CD)

Smooth and cool jazz from Freeman and Benoit. It's like the Rippington's with less brass and percussion more keys and vocals. Pleasant and rewarding marriage of guitar and piano styling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic marriage of piano and guitar, June 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Benoit/Freeman Project (Audio CD)

Heard this album just three months ago, and could not believe what I had been missing. Both artists are so very talented in their respective fields, and putting them together was sheer genius. The track"It's The Thought That Counts" is especially intriguing---alot of Freeman's guitar is so reminiscent of Antonio Carlos Jobim's style, and that is a real good thing. Jobim was a great favorite of mine. All musicians involved with this project[no pun intended], are very talented and from start to finish, it sounds like everyone was not only working hard, but enjoying themselves. I would not have known about this album if it were not for our great jazz station WHRL in Albany, N.Y. I have this "Project" on CD and cassette so that I have this magical music whever I go.

If you already know these 2 musicians you know it's got to be good. If you don't know them then you will become their newest fan. This is a monster combo of Smooth Jazz/Jazz Fusion. Nothing quite like it. You wonder why other artist don't attempt something like this. Very few are brave enough to do such a thing anyway.
And man David Benoit and Russ Freeman collaborate incredibly well. This is a killer combo!
This album is a must in anyone's jazz collection or even jazz fusion collection. I'm not a huge fan of collaboration albums but these 2 belong together making albums. I'm surprised they have only done 2 albums together.
I'm in shock there are not more reviews here. One of the best Jazz albums I have ever heard in my life. Very experimental and milestone for Jazz. This should become one of your favorite albums as soon as you hear the opening track!
