INCREDIBLE MUSIC!,
By Christine Purden (Woodland Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First View (Audio CD)
Although my words may be redundant of others who have reviewed this CD, I find this artist and his style of playing awesome! This is a musician who not only plays great guitar and writes his own music, but he also has a beautiful voice and his own unique scat-style of singing. The song, "I Know" is probably one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard - actually choked me up the 1st time I heard it. A must-have for those who love the format of contemporary jazz.

You Have to Give This Guy a Listen,
By
This review is from: First View (Audio CD)
It's true that sometimes a lot of smooth-jazz players get into a format and all start to sound alike. If you like the format (which I do), it's not that big a deal because nothing is going to sound all that bad. But if you haven't heard Steve Oliver, you really should give this album and his second effort, "Positive Energy," a try. He's not only a tremendously talented guitar player, but his singing style is fresh... kind of a blend of R&B, Latin love singer, scat and Al Jarreau. I'm really shocked that anyone who likes jazz or smooth jazz would not rate this a 5-star. Even my wife and teen daughter really liked this effort, which crosses over into two other distinctly different musical tastes. It's rare that any artist sounds great to three different people with three different music tastes. I don't buy a ton of music, but I'll be buying every album Steve Oliver does. In fact, that's why I'm even online writing this... I was checking to see if he's come out with a third album yet.

A Smooth Jazz Star On The Rise!,
By SeaTherapy@aol.com (Southern CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First View (Audio CD)
Steve Oliver's debut CD "First View" is one of the best jazz CD's of 1999. Already becoming a staple on Smooth Jazz stations all over California, Oliver's mix of upbeat guitar picking, pop schemes and scatting, is sure to tempt the ears of anyone looking to combine Marc Antoine or Peter White with Al Jarreau. Pop, Jazz, Funk, Soul....it's all represented here. Highlights on the disc include the fun "Midnight at the Oasis", the ocean-drive inspired "Highway One", and the catchy "West End". Former Bamboo Forest guitarist Steve Oliver is out front where he belongs! Keep your eye on him.
