5.0 out of 5 stars Lauren from Delaware, September 16, 2003

James McBride's artistic talent doesn't surprise anyone who has read his books or heard him play the saxophone. Surprising is the fact that the musical ride he orchestrates leaves you wanting to take the next trip--while forcing you to hit the rewind button to fully appreciate the song you just heard. Full of raw emotions and rhythms that speak to you individually, his music is almost personal. Like he knows you and has written the song just for you. "Lauren" is my absolute favorite. Thanks for sharing James.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Jazz Tapestry, September 14, 2003

An articulate, laid-back offering. Rather than the staccato design such a varied survey could easily be, it's a sophisticated historical journey drawn together by the common thread of the music form. A complex tapestry skillfully intertwined by a Master Weaver. Mr. McBride has told another compelling story -- this time set to music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big Band With Humor and an Edge, August 12, 2005

This review is from: The Process, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

Rachel Z and Aziza Mustapha Zadeh are as close to "smooth jazz" as I can stomach, and I've never been a "big band" fan--more an Anthony Braxton/David S. Ware/John Zorn kind of guy. With that said, this album is sophisticated, funny and edgy. The review by "A Music Fan" is off the mark and kind of misses the point of the session.
