I am still saddened by the passing of one of my favorite artists. I will never forget George Howard. I was listening to him one day and felt inspired to send George a Thank You card for adding so much joy to my life. Three weeks later I came home from an early movie and George Howard called me to let me know how much he appreciated my card. I tripped out and played that tape for all of my friends. Damn I wish I would have been there to receive his call! I will never forgive myself for not writing him again and letting him know how much his call meant to me. I love you George and will always cherish your work and be eternally honored by your telephone call.

This is one of George Howard's more complex and varied works. The opening cut "Within Your Eyes" is dreamy. "Still In Love" has a soft sweet side. "Smooth" is on the funkier side and cool. "Africa" is a tribute to a rich heritage. Not one version but two unique versions of this song are included. George Howard in his later works was an artist who could mix a variety of sounds and moods in one cd. He left us with many sides of his artistry and this is a fine example.

I have been listening to george howard's jazz for about 3 years. I can't get enough of his smooth style and was shocked to hear about his death. I am still listening and collecting his albums and have not been disapointed with anything i have heard. His MIDNIGHT MOOD album is excellent. We have lost a great musician.

Along with Grover Washington,George Howard represented my introduction to Jazz.As proof,I have his early stuff on original Vinyl LP's.To lose both men with close similarities,and with their level of consistency for awesome sounds so close together is sad.This void will take some time to fill.

I love George Howard's music and I will miss him very much. His music is heavenly and I'm sure that's where he is.

Listening to Midnight Mood reminds me how much I miss looking forward to new George Howard music. This entire CD is a great representation of what Smooth Jazz sounds like.

"Within Your Eyes" has to be one of the most beautiful songs that I have heard in a long time. I have always been able to feel George Howard's music since I heard "Dancing in the Sun" (My happy song).

We lost a great one much too soon. George we miss you and your music dearly.

FROM ASPHALT GARDEN TO MIDNIGHT MOOD ONCE AGAIN GREAT CD! George I Will Never Forget the two shows at the Tralfomadore in Buffalo,NY The Sound of Your Sax Will Blow Forever!! GOD BLESS YOU.

great ! great! GREAT

Another great album by George Howard. He is one of the kings of smooth jazz. This is a CD that you can listen to over and over.
