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.

This is possibly the greatest single cool jazz disc of all time. Freeman and Benoit fit together like they were born to it. There's a nice variety of music on this disc, yet it stands together as a wonderfully coherent whole. The opeining track alone is worth the price of the disc. Although I've never been a big Kenny Loggins fan, his voice and delivery fit perfectly with the second song (one of two tracks with vocals). Although credited to Freeman, "Swept Away" feels like it could have sat as one of the better tracks on any early Benoit disc. The very hip "Smartypants" will have you tapping your foot and humming long after the song is over. In all, 10 cuts and not a single dog or bit of filler--stellar from start to finish.
