This album is as smooth as silk! and just as sexy. Richard Elliot is a true genius, recording many classic albums over the years, but this is his smoothest, and sexiest ever. If you are a smooth jazz fan, be sure not to miss this one. Buy it now.

I was first introduced to Richard Elliot at a jazz festival in Winter Park, CO last summer. Since then I have tried to buy every CD he has released. Jumpin' Off is smoothe and relaxing. It makes you want to turn down the lights, get the fire going, curl up with the one you love, and let the music take care of the rest. Elliot is a truely talented musician and I hope he keeps the great sax playing for years to come.

Richard Elliot has been my number 2 Saxophonist for years now. This collection of songs on Jumpin Off has to be his best ever. No CD/ALBUM prior or since compares. Easily in my top 10 CD's ever!!!

Cor what a winner! Roger, my chum from Florida sent me this recorded on a tape and I was totally wowed! This is one of those all too rare jazz cds that is really movin' and exudes talent. A cd that deserves nothing more than the top notch on the volume control and a finger on the replay button. I bow to your serious and passionate sax playing Mr Elliot, long may there be talent like yours in the world.

Amazon hurry up and deliver my cd - watch out neighbours yer all doomed !

Saw Richard Elliot in concert this past summer. Purchased this album for my husband as a Christmas gift. Richard Elliot is a gifted musician. Love this album.

I have many of Richard Elliott's cd's and they are all good but this cd is GREAT!! From beginning to end, the songs are smooth and relaxing. My favorite song is #6 - Slow Burn. I think this is the best song that he has ever done. I think it is a very romantic and sexy piece of music. It can also be very calming after a hard day at work or just a hard day. The track - All Night - is also beautiful in a sexy, romantic and soothing way. There are two "remakes" on this cd. The first is Here and Now (by Luther Vandross) and Nobody Knows (by Kevin Sharp - someone else may have done it but he's the only one that I know). Both of these songs are fantastic because there is no singing, just pure sax and other instruments. There are some great up tempo songs to lighten a mood, such as the title track, Jumpin Off and In The Groove. Fun and fantastic. If you like Richard Elliott, sax music or jazz, I think you'll love this cd. It's one of the best.

If you love smooth jazz, this is the album for you! It is really kool.

At first glance the title of the album-Jumping Off-really did not appeal to me. Not to say that it in any way sounded bad but the title just did not instill in me the idea of the sweet, mellow, smooth music that I like to hear coming from Richard Elliot. But I was totally wrong!

One day I decided to listen to the sample tunes from this album and I liked what I heard. This CD comes highly recommended by me to lover's of Smooth Jazz. I couldn't find fault with so much as one of the tracks on this album, yet I have to admit that one of my favorites is "Slow Burn" it will set your emotions on fire; it blazes with feeling.

So just as a book can not be judged by its cover, neither does the title of an album always accurately convey to the viewer of it the true sense of feeling of what is inside the cover of it. BUY IT! I don't think that you will be disappointed by it.

I saw Richard Elliot in concert in Detroit recently and he was great!! A great way to relax on Friday nights with someone special and a bottle of Traverse City Late Harvest Riesling wine!!! You can't beat it!!

Richard Elliot's sax playing just feels sooooo good! My favorite on this CD is "In the Groove." Can listen to it over and over and over....
