Editorial Reviews
From Jazziz
After showing off his edgy, aggressive side in a live setting on the recent Ablaze, Ken Navarro gets back to his trademark, free-spirited and plucky (mostly) acoustic-guitar ways on In My Wildest Dreams. One of the genre's most consistent purveyors of instantly catchy tunes and swaying funk rhythms, Navarro mostly keeps the melodies sunny here. They are deployed over rhythmic bases that range from slow, grooving hip-hop to more throbbing bass-drum foundations created by Gary Grainger (who plays both instruments). He waits till track nine to really turn up the heat, and then rewards our patience with the pounding, Marcus Miller-like throb of "Sky Fi," on which a swinging Navarro modulates his nylon to sound like a steel string. Meanwhile, Eric Marienthal goes crazy on alto as Grainger's crunchy percussion bounces underneath. Navarro's longtime keyboardist, Jay Rowe, dashes off several beautiful piano solos, but has even more fun creating a simmering blues-organ sheen on the retro-soul-flavored "Street Smarts."

Excellent contemporary jazz guitar CD,
By A Customer
This review is from: In My Wildest Dreams (Audio CD)
This CD is what smooth jazz should be - energetic and strong and all 10 songs are winners. Great performances from Navarro and also Eric Marienthal on sax and Gary Grainger on bass. I also really liked "Smooth Sensation" but I think this one is a notch better.
5.0 out of 5 stars

A Superb release from sir Ken , the opening track enough to have u placing an order. Also happens to hold one of my favourite all time tracks "insatiable" which is not just a clever name ,you will have this on repeat for sure.

What A big heart!,

This review is from: In My Wildest Dreams (Audio CD)
I recommend this cd highly. I actually purchased it by mistake thinking I was buying the love coloured soul cd. I can say now I was quite pleased. Ken Has too many cd's for me to go back and purchase all of them. I am glad I stumbled on to this one.! I would have bought it just on the strength of A big Heart.That song touches my heart so much. It is trully a great smooth jazz selection. The flow of the music is real nice and it just shows how talented that Ken Navarro is. Watch him closely he is excellent.
