BE WARNED!, September 12, 2004
This review is from: Here to Stay (Audio CD)
If one goes into this album thinking they'll be getting
anything like the Jan Hammer Group's jazz-funk materail such
as 'Oh Yeah?" and 'Melodies" YOU ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE!This
album is a duet with Jan Hammer and Journey guitarist
Neal Schon and HE steals the show,not Hammer!Schon's biting
guitar riffs permeate every song,even Steve Perry shows up to
sing!Only Hammer lilting but so short "Peace Of Mind" reminds you he's here.But his guitar like synthesizer licks do add color
to these songs but the sound is 100% hard arena rock without one hint of the fusion sound of Jan Hammer.This marks the point
when Hammer went totally rock n' roll,so after a listen or two
this is excellent rock music but terrible fusion!But how can a
music be something it isn't anyway-that's what art is all about
anyway:the process,not the product.

Neal Schon and Jan Hammer, November 17, 2004
This review is from: Here to Stay (Audio CD)
"Here to Stay" is the first of Schon and Hammer's two albums they recorded together.Neal Schon is the guitarist of Journey,stepping outside of Journey and doing a side project with Jan Hammer.The first song on the album "No More Lies" is an excellent song, but the remainder of the album is filled with pleasant but boring songs like Don't Stay Away, Long Time, and Time Again.Neal Schon and Jan Hammer are both very talented musicains,and should be heard else where instead of here. I would only recommend this if you can find a cheap cassette or LP copy of the album at a low price.
