Even if you have no idea what smooth jazz is, "Every Part of Me" offers the type of music that makes you supremely glad you listened. Buy this CD for anyone who appreciates beautiful, instrumental songs with an enticing piano flavor. Make no mistake, this is not elevator music. Every track is a vibrant work of emotion and masterful sound. Simply oustanding on every level.

One of the things I really like about keyboardist William Woods' work is the musical integrity and class he brings to his albums. Take his third release, EVERY PART OF ME as a case in point. All eleven superb tracks are quality originals, he's assembled an all-star group of sidemen for the session (guitarist Denny Jiosa, bassist Chris Kent, percussionist Glen Caruba, and drummer Raymond Massey), and retained one of my favorite producers, Michael Moryc, to work hand-in-hand with Denny Jiosa...and the results speak for themselves. This disc is an outstanding, world-class excursion into contemporary jazz, offering memorable melodies delivered with understated, introspective elegance. The tracks I personally keep coming back to are the first Smooth Jazz radio single, "Alive, Living in Jersey" and the catchy "Whadja Expect?" I also really like the very lyrical title track (definitely the album's standout ballad) and the intriguing "Out of the Woodwork." There's really no need to cherry-pick the tunes on this album, though, as every one of them is a solid, first-rate performance. I definitely have to mention what I think is unique about William Woods...his dual careers, as a jazz pianist and radiation oncologist. Tying this all together is the fact that 50% of the proceeds from the sales of EVERY PART OF ME go to the American Cancer Society. You buy the CD, enjoy superb Smooth Jazz, and you help fight cancer. Now there's a win-win situation if ever there was one! ~Scott O'Brien

I love smooth music. I need to feel reassured when listening to jazz, the emphasis on the passage of time in pleasure. Every Part of Me ignited my heart, and everytime I listen to it, it Every Part of Me still gives me delight, calm, and pleasure. The song, "Alive, and Living in New Jersey" takes me where I am, and allows me Peace of Mind.
