5.0 out of 5 stars Pamela Williams - Smooth Jazz Personified, September 18, 2006

Living in the midwest (Oklahoma), you have to do a bit of work to find out what's new and exciting in the smooth jazz genre. I rely on our digital cable provider's music channel and input from friends who live in large metropolitan areas in other parts of the country. I had heard of Pamela Williams but hadn't actually heard any of her music. While shopping on-line, her music kept popping up on "what other customers bought" who made the same muscial purchases that I had.

I decided to get her most recent CD, "Elixir", after reading a review by a customer here on Amazon.com. It sounded like this was a CD I had to have and the reviewer was right. I love this CD! It's got a great blend of up-tempo tracks along with some slow-grooves to cuddle to or just relax by. I found every track to be a "keeper". I am a new fan and will remain a loyal one. Can't wait for the next release from "The Saxtress".

I always look forward to the latest project from the Saxtress, and I'm never disappointed. Pamela Williams' new album ELIXIR, her sixth release since 1996's debut "Saxtress" is no exception to her great run! A lot of fans are calling it her best album ever. It contains everything you and I have come to love about this genre of music we call Smooth Jazz. It's got sensuality and grooves, supreme musicianship (growing up in Philly, her biggest influence was Grover) and production values, and hit after hit inside of this jewel case. The first radio single, "Positive Vibe" is propelling the disc up the charts, and there's much more where that came from, namely "Forbidden Fruit," "In the Cut," "Rejuvination," and "Rise," to which I give the award for the sexiest vibe on the CD. She's got the ballads in this potion too..."Say Yes" and "Give Me What You Got" are irresistible standouts. ELIXIR really is the dictionary definition of "Smooth" in all its ramifications, and you will definitely want to be on the lookout for Pamela's sizzling new full-length DVD, A NIGHT WITH THE SAXTRESS recorded live at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre using five cameras. So to summarize...Pamela Williams - ELIXIR...home run, touchdown, bingo, jackpot...a total winner. Combo it with "A Night with the Saxtress" DVD and you've just created Smooth Jazz nirvana! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN

5.0 out of 5 stars Elixir- WOW, June 25, 2009

After hearing the song "Afterglow" on Pandora.com, I knew I had to hear more of this amazing talent that is Pamela Williams. I have purchased this CD (and The Perfect Love, which Afterglow is on, pick that one up as well) and I was simply amazed. No song sounds like the other songs on here, and the composing of the beat and sax blend perfectly. My only complaint is the CD is too short, but this is a CD to put on while relaxing around the house, driving down a coastal highway with the top down, or whenever!

I now have two CD's by this amazing, funky saxtress and the name saxtress is definitely well deserved. Pick this CD up if you are a fan of good, soulful smooth jazz.
