I happened to hear one of my friends playing the opening track, "Diane", and was hooked within 30 seconds. "Intimacy" is a truly wonderful Jazz album. Numbers like "Sisters", "Lil Touch of Jazz" and the Title track "Intimacy" keep me coming back to this CD when I have company or want to relax. This one that should be in any Jazz collector's CD stack.

I had never heard of Walter Beasley before this album came out. I heard "If You've Ever Loved Someone and Lost" on the radio and from that song alone decided to buy the album. I wasn't disappointed. From the first track "Dianne" to the final "Intimacy" the work is smooth. I especially love "If You've Ever...", "In the Morning (En La Manana)", "Sisters", "Lil Touch of Jazz" and "Don't Say Goodbye". He sings well and plays the sax well. The album is the kind that you can put on and just sit back and listen to without having to skip songs you don't like. It's smooth.

This is one CD that I've been looking for for a long time now. I never thought I would be able to find it until I came across your website. This is one of the best jazz CDs I've heard. From the first track to the last track on the CD, it is GOOD! For me this is a definite keeper for my music collection.

The mixing on this CD is good and brings out good contrasting of instruments as well as vocals but the actual song arrangements seem average. Nothing stands out. This CD seems good for background music in a restaurant or maybe if you have a large music collection this would serve as something like a filler of available space if you use some type of multi disk CD player or music server as the music here is not on the terrible side. However, this CD does not excite my senses at all. This of course is all my personal opinion based on my taste. You my love it.

This was a great breakthrough album for WB. "If Ever Loved Someone and Lost" "Don't Say Goodbye" and "A Little Touch of Jazz" helped but him on our minds. These were true and honest songs. He is very talented likewise.
