Editorial Reviews
2011 album from the Jazz guitarist. The music is swinging, funky, lush and exciting from note one, and stays that way to the very last drop. Chuck's fans will find the excellence in playing, sound, and production that they have come to expect from him, as well experiencing a side of the artist that they may have never heard before.

If you are or have been a Chuck Loeb fan,and you were disappointed with some of his recent offerings; then you have to get this album. Just one play through and I feel it is the best work he has done in awhile. The album is true to its title, it is plain and simply great.Chuck has always been a great arranger,but the mix on this album is a departure from his "formula" and it is teriffic. Chuck, I hope this album is huge for you.

Chuck Loeb is too good a player to be stuck in the smooth jazz genre. Smooth jazz is good entertainment for the masses,matter of fact it should be quantified as instrumental pop, but it's far from the artistic quality that most classic styles of Jazz are. This is a solid effort by Loeb that falls somewhere between classic and post bop jazz that requires educated listeners to appreciate--Wes and Jimmy would be proud.It sounds as if some actual thought went into the process of making it. Not every smooth jazzer is talented enough to create this kind of project so keep it up Chuck and lose the instrumental pop er, I mean smooth jazz, you're way better than that.

Smooth Funk, Cool Jam
I've listened to it a dozen times. Still liking the honesty of it, clear and clean and not overly produced. It's real music and it's 'real' good. Check out the first cut.

As a jazz guitar player since the 80's, I find Chuck Loeb to be one of the best contemporary players around. I love his raw stuff on this album. Read more

snappy
Red Suede Shoes is awesome!I love the acid jazz riffs from Chuck and the organist. The whole song has the small club feel to it. Who's the trumpet player?

Not Good
I really love Chuck Loeb, but, this CD (Plain N'Simple) is not doing it for me. Chuck needs to go back to "Smooth Jazz" he once played in the range like:"Soulmate". Read more
