this cd is just plain good a lil too short but good none the less, I own one of his other albums and this one does not disappoint and there is a cause too. I can definatly dig it

I gave it as a Birthday gift, and almost two years after that I still hear the person thanking me for it, so I guess it was an excellent choice!!!! :)

This piece captures Marcus and his musical posse of some of the finest smooth jazz musicians to be found anywhere (i.e. David Dyson on bass who also plays with 'Pieces of a Dream'), playing live in what is considered their 'home turf'- the 21st Amendment Club in Washington, D C. It is contemporray, improvisational, and in particluar, capture the feel of a real drummer (no drum programming here folks). This is a must for your Marcus Johnson collection. And, I believe a piece of it goes to a good cause because Marcus Johnson is that phenomenal of a human being as well as an accomplished jazz mega-star.

Got this CD from the library.
One of my better finds in the Houston Public Library.
Fantastic mix of slow and uptempo, jazz and R&B style.
Also, enjoy the balance of live and studio work.
Has an awesome flavor and high level of musicianship.
Recommend this to any jazz or R&B/soul lover.
