For those who are getting into jazz from a rock, soul, r&b, or blues background, Jeff Golub is a great musician to listen too. Most songs are upbeat, with great guitar licks. I have enjoyed every one of Jeff's cd's, and Dangerous Curves is as good as it gets. 'No Two Ways About It', with Peter White on acoustic guitar is the current #1 smooth jazz song (9/14/00). Just saw Jeff in concert (he is currently touring on the Guitars and Saxes Smooth Jazz tour)and he brought the audience to their feet with his guitar playing. Highly recommend all of the Avenue Blue cd's as well.

Awesome CD !! I saw Jeff perform at the 2000 Pasadena JazzFest and was totally captivated by his performance and the music. I bought the CD, 'Dangerous Curves' that day, based on what I had heard. It has been a permanent fixture on my CD player this last year. It is hip,sassy,funky, with a blues feeling.Plus more! Check the smooth,romantic "Till We Meet Again" and the great cover of Smashmouths "Walkin' on the Sun" ! You will enjoy.

Jeff Golub really hits home with this excellent recording. He attempted to capture the 70's funk sound and boy, did he get it right! The first two tunes will get you hopping and reel you in for the rest. Make sure to check out his own web site for his own take on each of the tunes (www.jeffgolub.com/dangerous_curves_jg.htm). Very insightful and most of the songs were cut with one take!

I have found that anything that Jegg Golub does is absolutely wonderful. He has managed to take artist like Eric Claptan, Johnny Lang, Stevie Ray Von, BB king, Seagar and the list goes on, and gives you alittle of everyones style all in one song and then mixes his own style in to boot. All of his work is a must hear. If you like soul, blues, and jazz. here ya go. Brenda Burnett

The tracks here are catchy, upbeat, and peaceful. After a recent stress-filled day, I came home and put this one in the stereo, and in no time I was dancing with my dogs. There isn't a bad one in the bunch, but my favorites are "Another Friday Night," "No Two Ways About It," "Lost Weekend," and "Walking on the Sun."

While this CD does contain some of the familiar trappings of typical smooth jazz recordings, it is certainly among the best you'll find in the genre.

Dangerous curves is a punch song . It has swing all along the way and since Droptop is another triumph , it sounds terrific with an outstanding rhythmic section
Mister magic is a funky theme . easy to listen and a good reason to listen after a hard day .
No two ways about it is one of three best tracks . The acoustic and smooth guitar of Golub is delightful and persuasive .
Gone but not forgotten to my mind is the best track . Sugestive , with lights and shadows , the latin mood surrounds the piece . The curtains are brilliant and the rhythmic section works out admirably . Tastefully inspired and best played.
And finally we come to the second best track :Till we meet again . This smooth piece is a real hit .
A must in your collection .

I bought this CD when it first came out. I listened to it several times(like most good CDs) and then put it away. In the last year, I have seen Jeff perform live 3x. I pull out this CD and always find that the music is what most musicians (artists)desire....that there work stands the test of time.

The whole CD blends some funky upbeat guitar licks with an occasional mellow tune. If you haven't picked it up, get a good used copy. Jeff is always happy to sign after shows. Also, you should check out his Avenue Blue work.

This is a fun CD. Great music to cruise by. I love the title track! I hope Jeff keeps going into this musical direction....this release will not disappoint Golub fans!

This is a fantastic CD! One of the best jazz fusion artists I've listened to in a long time. I highly recommend this CD!!

Jeff is one of my favourite jazz/fusion guitar player. He appears on this cd as a great and experimented player. Very soulful, sometimes smooth with the accoustic bass of Lincoln Goines, sometimes hot & electric. All the tracks are good with a kind of cool mood. You should buy this cd and listen to it if you want to feel good in a cool summer evening...
