5.0 out of 5 stars I took a trip on the E-train to Heaven, January 5, 2003

As a music lover I listen to a little of everything but my cd collection is mostly r&b and hip-hop so finding a jazz album in my crate isn't likely..... that is until yesterday when I purchased Heaven. I was first introduced to Sheila E. when she starred in Krush Groove and I was mesmerized by her percussion talent, so much so; that the following christmas my mother got me a drumset. After a while I lost interest until a few days ago Sheila E. was on my mind and I logged on to her website and saw some info on the heaven cd so i rushed out to buy it and in 24hours I am in love with her talents all over again. It has a jazzy relaxation feel that's great when I need to be mellow. The melodies will pull you in and transport you to Heaven hince the title. The 7th track Bahia is my favorite and in my opinion there aren't any bad songson the cd. I f you buy a ticket on the E-train to heaven you will not be disappointed and I highly reccommend that you do it and do it now.

i am so not interested in "xtian" music (um, BLEAH)...but the interplay of E's proven chops and a new smooth jazz feel are magical. Two run throughs and I was hooked. It now has a permanent spot in the changer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real music for real music lovers., April 28, 2005

Being a longtime admirer of Ms. E my opinion could be seen as biased. However, my praise of this album goes beyond my once pubescent fascination with Sheila E.

This is real music...smooth...jazz...inspiration...funk. This cd has it all.

If you enjoyed Prince's Musicology and One Nite Alone Live, you really should get it. Rhonda, Renato and many others are here.

I can't believe I haven't heard it before. Then again, it's not a surprise. Sheila is upfront about her Christianity, so secular radio isn't lined up to play her. Pop radio has no room for real music.

Such a shame. But you heard it from me. Buy it and hear for yourself.

Can't wait to drive with the wind blowing thru what's left of my hair with this playing.
