5.0 out of 5 stars The Steve Miller Band meets its Forebears, July 26, 2005
By Jazz Hermit (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
I bought this because I had heard Steve Miller sing "God Bless The Child" as part of a Les Paul tribute and wanted a copy of that tune. The rest of this CD has been a very pleasant surprise. It's hard to categorize because while it is filled with standards and has a lot of jazz DNA it is also unmistakably the Steve Miller Band harmonies and all. So; if you like old standards and you like the classic rock of the Steve Miller Band you may well love this CD. The guitar solos are reminiscent of Larry Carlton's work with Donald Fagan (post Steely Dan) and in spots I felt more than a twinge of Steely Dan nostalgia while I was listening.

Rather than try to categorize this CD I would suggest that you listen to the samples and if you like what you hear climb aboard the Steve Miller Band's Pegasus and take a ride to a very different destination and a different time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps my favorite album of all time, period!, December 18, 2003
By C. S. Phipps (Troy, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought the cassette in 1990, and I'm back to buy the CD 13 years later. I remember being in shock with the first listen or two (this is not the Steve Miller most people know). I appreciate Steve for going out on a limb and making this album. He does so many of the jazz classics, and so very well. ...only I didn't know what a jazz classic was until this album. Over the years, I've heard these songs by other performers and have come to appreciate them more and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Steve Miller, August 12, 2001
By "maddyd" (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This one's timeless. His choice of covers and the fabulous renditions of them will always be among my favorites. It's the only Steve Miller I own, so maybe this isn't one for the hard-core Steve Miller Band fans, but it is for anyone who likes a soulful jazzy smooth-as-caramel take on some great songs!
