5.0 out of 5 stars This is it! That sexual vibe . . ., August 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Jazzfied (Audio CD)

Slim Man-This is it! I have found that voice, that impeccable groove, and sexual vibe, all from a man that looks like Buddy Holly! I can't stop listening to his CD "jazzified". Lyrics that melt in the mouth, a bass line that makes your head slide from side to side, and a tasty, understated arrangement of live and electronic drums and synths to broaden the accents of acoustic guitars, tenor and alto saxophones, and silky tenor vocals. His talent is undeniable, and I'm not the only one to think so. Strictly Jazz calls him "refreshingly original" and Gavin hails him as "smooth jazz at its best." As if critical acclaim isn't enough, fellow artists also take to his style of vocal healing judging by his list of guest appearances with such proprietors of sexual, soulful jazz as Candy Dulfer, Al Jarreau, Fourplay, and Grover Washington Jr, just to name a brief few.

Slim Man has a vocal style that has earned him the reputation of being suave, debonair, sultry and poised. Feelings and profound emotions pour through the impassioned lyrics on Jazzified. Slim Man strikes each chord with fabulous melodies to support the meaning of the words. I truly believe that this album is his best work done to date. Jazzified has some fantastic guest artists: Marc Antoine, Ken Navarro and Joe Ercole. The saxophone player Kevin Levi really adds a sophisticated flavor to the overall quality of the production. Each of the musicians surrounds Slim Man with the necessary essentials to accentuate his vocal dexterity and bass playing. Not many male singers out there can ravish the audience with romantic lyrics and sophisticated tuneful delivery as well as backing it up with compelling instrumentalists. Who's that man? The answer is.. Slim Man.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEFORE HE WAS BONA FIDE-D, October 30, 2002

By 

Black Ice "blaxice" (CHICAGO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jazzfied (Audio CD)

The last solo effort by Slim Man before he and his band reorganized as BonaFide....A rarity these days, a male jazz vocalist with the power to carry an entire CD. I would describe his style as smooth and hip with one part Michael Franks (minus the sleepiness), a helping of Donald Fagen (except Slim Man CAN sing) and a dash of Boz Scaggs' coolness (need i say more).
Don't sleep on this CD...I first heard it on college radio in St. Louis and searched coast-to-coast until I found it in Atlanta. Well worth the effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mezmerizing, October 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Jazzfied (Audio CD)

Saw Slim Man live onstage -- bought the CD jazzified at the show. Who is this guy? He's an awesome performer on stage. I'm no teenager but I sure felt like a being a groupie girl the night I saw Slim Man. And then I listened to the cd . . . . . And now I can't stop listening to this CD. It's mezmerizing. Hypnotic. The lyrics are fantastic. His voice is so . . . well. . . it strikes a chord within me.

You'll be pleasantly surprised with this one. My favorite track is "Don't Say Goobye." Makes me cry every time.

And check out "Other Side of Love." Smoky, confusing, like a complicated love affair if you get me.

Slim Man speaks to me. He will to you too.
