This brilliant laid back ... romantic.... smokey music is heaven. I purchased this as my first Mark Whitfield CD and despite having a collection of over 4000 CD's this one keeps making it to the 5 disc selection without fail.

So sultry are the renditions of every song... and especially #7 "Early Autumn" with Diana Krall's earthy tones that it is simply a must have, if you simply want to listen to easy ..... glide over your skin ..... magic music.

My husband loves the Benson/Klugh sound of the Gibson.... as we romanced to those two back in late 70's and 80's... so it strikes a cord!

Great way to spend a special dinner and the continuity of pace is what I like... no stand out loud over eager song to wreck the experience!

Forever Love is incredible. White light filtered down through the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. Situated on a blanket between two holly trees, a young couple sat enjoying the cool spring breeze of early April, a picnic lunch with champagne, and the music of Forever Love from a CD player. I held her in my arms and kissed her closed eyes, cheeks, and nose with the soft petals of a rose. Mark Whitfield's guitar was like a film soundtrack, one that fits so perfectly you almost don't notice the subtle effect it's having on you. This is a must for fans of Diana Krall who supplies vocals on two of the tracks and hints at her transition from "Love Scenes" to "When I Look in Your Eyes." Mark Whitfield was the background for many romantic nights and days with the greatest love of my life. I know this album would mean as much to you, too.

Dull and uninspired, this is precisely the type of music true jazz fans will want to stay away from, although more general audience might fall for it.
If you like Diana Krall, she is a guest on this CD (surprise, surprise!), singing on two songs.
