Wow! I am still listening to "Lil Man Soul and Jackiem Joyner does it again! This cd is fresh and very enjoyable. Especially love The Reunion, Push and Turn It Up. Jackiem is gonna be around the smooth jazz scene for a long time!

Jackiem you did your thang, AGAIN!!!!! I have all three cd's and love every one of them. I can't wait to see him live!!!

Another great album by Jackiem Joyner. I love every song on this album especially "Dance With Me", "The Reunion" and "Back Together Again".

It's really strange because I really liked the radio singles from this album/cd. "Dance With Me" is this really beautiful Latin flavored song that I originally thought was a cover of Madonna's "La Isla Bonita." I also liked "Home" and I think it was also "Pushed" that they played on the radio that I liked. And "Turn It Up" may have been another one that I liked from the radio.

However, when listening to the whole album put together, it just sounded fast, loud, and out of control. And I even turned the volume down when listening to this album, which helped a little bit, but I still wasn't able to enjoy the music on this album. However though, don't get me wrong, I like fast and mid-tempoed songs, but the selections put together as an album, just didn't work for me.

And perhaps it's an age thing because I see that there were quite a few other reviewers who really liked this album. However, with noisy songs such as "Reunion" with all the 'marching band drums' sounds, etc., all that I can say is that I'm a lot more removed in years from my high school and college days than Jackiem is and perhaps than a lot of his fans are too.

And one more thing. I gave this album two stars instead of one because I recognized and appreciated Jackiem's efforts in wanting to be innovative and have a different type of a sound from the other smooth jazz albums that are out there.

This new CD by Jackiem Joyner is now one of my favorites. "Dance with Me" is wonderful as are many more on this CD. I would highly recommend it.

Jackiem Joyner has now made three studio CD's and I have all three of them; while I have truly enjoyed the previous 2, this is by far his best CD. This CD features instrumentations not heard in the previous two CD's and there's not one song on this new CD that won't have you dancing to the up-beat tunes or grooving to the balladic sounds of his smooth saxophone! I highly recommend this CD and would love to see this artisit perform live in concert!

Love how Jackiem Joyner is daring to mix a hip R&B sound with Sax Jazz without a lot of vocals. The best change in music because this genre's music can tend to sound all alike from one artist to the next. Others need to sit down and think of some different sounds to mix with their wind and string instruments-- and make sure to purchase Joyner's "Baby Soul" CD. You'll love it!

Push is played on XM and is a wonderful cut. The rest of cd is up the fine standard set by the cut Push.

I will look forward to more music from a fine musician.

The tracks on this CD will be playing in my car and on my home computer for quite some time. Jackiem is a very talented young man.

Another fine release from this extremely talented saxman

great to see consistancy in recent additions to the genre and I must say JJ has yet to put a foot wrong I tend not to fully judge artists until there 3rd release ( incase of the flash in the pan ) and this guy is REAL

3 thoroughly decent and aurally enticing releases
