I cannot put into words the thrill it was to first hear such eloquent music flowing through such nimble fingertips. Ben's music has touched my soul in profound ways that I thought could only be achieved by the likes of Afterglow and Stryper. "Pass The Hot Sauce" indeed! Ben Eager has not only passed the hot sauce, but the horseradish to boot! One listen to this exquisite piece of work and consider me a fan for life.

The music and style are captivating and haunting. Ben and the boys tantalize and lead us alluringly through some exotic places in our minds and souls, not to mention some colorful South American beaches and romantic hideaways. We can't wait for the next CD!

Ben weaves themes in and out with subtlety. The latin rhythm in the background dances around each tidbit he offers. The interplay is a compliment to the whole and fun for the ear to follow. There are wonderful old tunes in this CD that are delightful to hear under Ben's creative touch.

This CD quietly, but quickly grows on you. We have enjoyed many quiet evenings "a deux", while listening to it. When we have played it for friends, or for parties, people always ask about it, "What's that?" "I love it", "How cool" Word seems to be getting around and we've heard it on the jazz stations lately. The other great thing we've noticed about it is that it doesn't take over the social situation - that is, unless you want it to. Easy listening and fun to play and play. Particularly liked the "Hot Sauce" track. It's original. Definitely playful and gets your attention. The other tunes, some dreamy, some catchy and engagingly rhythmic, took me into reminescing about Latin places, dancing, being intimate. It evokes similar pleasures in the present. Get it!
