Another great CD from the beautiful lady!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In Hi-Fi Stereo (Audio CD)
Wow! Maybe it's because I listened to James Brown, the Temptations, Junior Walker, the Four Tops, Archie Bell and the Drells while cruising the strip in the 60s in my hot rod 55 Chevy. Or, maybe from listening to groups like Tower of Power, Cold Blood, and Kool and the Gang in my Harley riding days after a stint in the U.S. Army. For whatever reason I absolutely love this latest effort by the beautiful Mindi Abair.
Every song on this CD has a unique style; with some guest singers, tasteful use of horn sections, organ, piano, guitar, bass, etc. Yet, at no time does any of these outshine her very hot sax work, but rather complements perfectly. Starting right out with "Any Way You Wanna" which is exactly the way I wanna, you get a great mix of funky, soulful, and rocking music. Just listen to her smoking hot sax work in "All Star", "Down For The Count", "Girls Night Out", and "Take Me Home". all arrangements on this CD are excellent. The guest vocals are also great -- I love the rocking "Get Right" sung by Ryan Collins, again, accompanied by her hot sax playing. And I'm afraid that I disagree with earlier reviews, I think the treatment of James Brown's "it's a Man's, Man's, Man's, World" is excellent. Both the singing of Lalah Hathaway and Mindi's hot sax playing are soulful, sultry, and sexy, yes, it is just my opinion, but I think it is awesome, and the longer it goes, the hotter it gets. I'm sorry to be redundant, but just like all of her previous albums, every song on this CD is good, there is nothing weak on it, and I will be playing this CD a lot. This effort, her latest, is nothing short of brilliant. Buy this CD, you will love it! The recording quality is also top-notch. If you are an old-fashioned audiophile with a high-quality, high powered stereo system, and you like to rock out, you will love this. You will not be disappointed.

Soul/Jazz retro grooves.,
This review is from: In Hi-Fi Stereo (Audio CD)
Sultry Soul/Jazz from this beautiful lady saxophonist, the gentle or gritty summery grooves ooze spontaneity.
The set (Mindi's sixth effort and her first with Heads Up Records) reminds a lot of some soul-jazz recordings of the '60s and '70s and combines quality mid-tempo instrumentals with vocal cuts. She hits the funkier end of Soul/Jazz. There are several funky grooves like "Any Way You Wanna", "All Star", "Down For The Count" and "Girl's Night Out". On the vocal tip (maybe the less interesting part of the album) you may enjoy "Get It Right" and the cover of James Brown's "It's A Mans Mans Mans World", which showcases some great, bluesy vocals by the ubiquitous singer Lalah Hathaway (currently there are too many smooth jazz albums where Lalah appears as a guest singer). Tracks like the sleek "L'Esprit Nouveau" (in French for 'The New Spirit') and mid-tempo "Let The Whole World Know (Sing Your Song)" will make you want more from this very talented artist, who has integrated more vocals on this album in order to widen her musical horizon and to reach into a wider audience. Mindi has choosen catchy melodies and contemporary grooves, well produced and well played, definitely worthy of your time. Recommended! The Look of Love True Love Funked Up!

Mindi still rocks,
This review is from: In Hi-Fi Stereo (Audio CD)
I didn't even have to think twice about buying after I heard the samples. Lo and behold, Mindi Abair delivers again! Great jazz for any mood. Soulful at times, smooth at others...Mindi can do it all. Highly recommended!
