5.0 out of 5 stars I had to find it, October 7, 2000

I heard Blue Kiss one afternoon on my fav jazz station in transit and you know they hardly ever say the name of the songs or the artist on those stations so needless to say I ran straight to the store and sent everyone in that record store on a mad hunt for the CD based on my own rendition of the melody. It was worth the embarrassment hehehe. I found it and I love it! I couldn't stop listening to it once I got home. This is my first Chuck Loeb CD and it won't be my last.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice! Definitely one to put on repeat..., September 20, 1999

I'm fairly new to Chuck Loeb's music, but I think "Listen" is going to prove to be my favorite among all his CD's. This CD is fantastic for a bunch of reasons: a really nice variety of tunes, excellent sidemen, and fantastic arrangements. Loeb's gentle, understated rendering of Russell Ferrante's composition "Geraldine" is absolutely beautiful and keyboardist Mike Ricchiuti has the most wonderful touch on this tune. But the great thing is that on this same album you also get the fun, Latin-flavored Chiringita and the fantastically uptempo and fun "Right Down Broadway" with Mitchel Forman smokin' on keyboards. This latter track really shows off the jazz talents of all involved. The only thing I don't really like about this CD is the slowed down version of Michael Jackson's "Rock With You." That tune just doesn't seem like it should be played that slowly. But apart from that, this is one fantastic CD. Betcha after the first time you hear it, you'll have to press repeat!

His style, in my opinion is comparable to that of the late Wes Montgomery. Unhurried in his approach on tracks such as, "Silver Star", "Geraldine", and "Blue Kiss." Speaking of "Geraldine", (Spyro Gyra are the originator's) this track continues to evoke emotions of bitter sweet nostalgia within me after all these years. I'm sure the members of Spyro Gyra would agree that Chuck Loeb does justice to this particular track. If you're into reflective and thought provoking music, I'd say to you, "Buy it."
