4.0 out of 5 stars Sensual and trippy., February 5, 2008

By	smoothjazz_views (Beverly Hills, CA) - See all my reviews

The very talented Smooth Jazz artist Paul Hardcastle has released his latest CD titled "Hardcastle 5" and Wow! It's really a good one.
The London born Hardcastle is a producer of electronic pop instrumental records who uses keyboards, drum machines, some regular instruments, often a saxophone lead and occasional singers to create enjoyable music
The album literally grabs your attention right from the beginning with "Lucky Star" and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song, which by the way is another great track "Take 1".
It has a nicely varied, mix of 13 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly talented artist.
The CD is a collection of sensual, trippy, hard-to-resist cuts which will make you feel good.
And this is the reason why they are so radio friendly : the single "Lucky Star" has made the top Ten in the Contemporary Jazz chart.
This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone.
I give it two thumbs up.
It's quite simply great listening.
A must buy for the Smooth Jazz fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, April 22, 2008

By	Henry Hudnall "dusty player" (Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This just can't be happening, how could this man keep making hit after hit after hit? There is no doubt Hardcastle/Jazzmasters are simply the best ever. If you don't believe me just listen to the music. I'd be willing to put Paul Hardcastle against any (jazz artist) challengers song for song and would guarantee he would win easily. Hardcastle and the Jazzmasters are unbelievable and they do it with the smoothness. I love it.

What else can be said about Paul Hardcastle!? The Creative Genius goes on!
Heard this on album KJJZ (102.3FM), and it blew me away!
The Brit goes West Coast Smooth Jazz, and Then some!
