5.0 out of 5 stars HARD TO FOLLOW A FAVORITE, April 29, 2005

The trouble I have with really falling in love with a CD is that I am compelled to buy the follow-up and am almost always disappointed. So I bought 'Come as You Are', the follow-up to the superb 'It Just Happens that Way', listened to it and, sure enough, it just wasn't as good. After all, how could it compare? Imagine my surprise when, at a second listening, I began to realize that it actually compared very nicely, thank you.
'Come as you are'starts out with a number of tracks that carry over the upbeat melodic repertoire of the previous CD as Abair sustains her remarkable feel good quality through each song. She also shows more variety than previously with the funky beat of 'Sticks and Stones', the dreamy quality of "I can Remember' and the Pink Panther like sound of New Shoes [what a great tune!]. She even does the old trick of slipping in an untracked song, allowing her to show off some of her more free flowing talents.
It's a bit of smooth jazz, a bit of pop and a whole lot of feelin' good. When I want to feel blue it's Miles, when I want to feel up, looks like it's Mindi.

The follow up to her It Just Happens This Way CD, this disc continue to show the evolution of her performance. After seeing her in concert a couple of years ago, I was totally hooked and when this disc came out, I immediately purchased it. After hearing the tracks, it became clear that she is sounding even better. The title track has a fun feel to to it and the vocal tracks on Every Time combine extremely well with the saxophone. The rest of the tracks are very pleasing as well.
She is going to be on tour later this year with Guitars and Saxes (along with Warren Hill, Wayman Tisdale & Jeff Lorber). I am going to definitely try to catch this combo when they show up in Seattle (I don't think they will be coming to Vancouver).

This is one of those cd's where the songs get better and better the more you listen to them. Mindi is a unique talent with a smooth, sexy voice and an even better sax. Try this one out, and enjoy an innovative, soulful delight.
