Ben's music is divine. It's very inspired and really is in a unique new category he's created called, inspirational jazz. I love the smooth jazz flavor and the simply inspired and worshipful lyrics. The style of music is wonderful and each CD has diverse music that's appropriate for any occasion or mood (skating, playing, reflecting, entertaining, working, traveling, romancing, etc.)- whatever the listener's situation, Ben's music will lift the spirit! Thanks Ben for your unique style of uplifting/inspirational jazz and for improving upon perfection with each new release. ---Stevie G.

This is the first CD I've purchased from Ben Tankard, and it is very, very good. Check out my favs: "Spend Some Time With Me", "7-Dayze w/out Prayer", and the short and sweet tracks # 8 and 12. The jazzy contemporary feel puts you in a rhythmic mode for praising God. I've had this CD for some time, and just recently started to listen to it again, (the music will never git old) much love to the original Gosplejazz pioneer.

THis I Ben Tankard's best cd....every song is good.. I know good music..I'm a musisican so I have an ear for music..soo
If your looking for some quality to add to your collection of cd's then go get this cd....this cd came out like 3 years ago and it's still tight..soo go get it..peace out.

I love Ben Tankard but this was not my favorite CD. There are great songs on it but I'm not happy with it as much as others. I would not start with this CD. Play Me In Your Key has been my favorite.

Well I thought this CD was certainly uplifting. It showed me another perspective of music and it was just something different. I mean "Spend some time with me and Git yo Prayze on" was bangin and just all the tracks had some kind of jazz feel and thats what I like. This is something fo da young folks and I being young, love it so go out and buy it!

Now, I can't say much about this exceptionally nice, sort of veering towards another musical direction, kind of album... except that I've had mixed reactions to it. To start, on a negative note, the songs I didn't rank at the top either were just too saccharine or I just didn't like Cassandra Robertson's vocals too favorably. But on a more positive tip, I can't put 'Git Yo Praize On' in my Aiwa without playing "N-Da-Spirit" (cool beat), "Livin 4 U" (great vocals/melody), "We Ben-Jamin' (funk-laced jazz number), "Tribal Hymn" (intriguing african approach/rhythm), "My Testimony" (short, but sweet), and "If You Need Somebody" (love the vocals & the pianowork). "Caravan Of Love" didn't really grab me, because it is a remake from The Isley Bros, and I found it sort of sugary. Also "Spend Some Time With Me" is kind of heavily laced with Cassandra's vocals. Yet it isn't bad at all. None of the songs are bad, the lesser appealing ones are good when you're in the mood to give them full attention. Well, that's all. Please go purchase it (like I have to tell you that) You know what to do, I assume.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good album. "Sing for the children" will bring tears to your eyes. and "Spend some time with me" is a beautiful song. I just happen to like some of his older stuff a little better. He is still a musical genius and this album is still good. This album wont discourage me from picking up his next set.
