5.0 out of 5 stars Great album!!!, July 21, 2003

I just bought this album a week ago and was really anxious to start listening to it. I love his upbeat sax and the wonderful backround keyboards. This is an album you can play over and over again and never get sick of it. He always finds a way to entertain you and since 5 out of the 10 songs are hits this is an album you won't want to miss. I have never heard Richard Elliot's music before but as soon as I bought this album I immediately fell in love with it. I hope he comes out with more albums like this in the future!!! :)

well, It's sho'nuff funkay. Ricochet breaks with Corner Pocket, it's average smooth jazz fare but lets click the forward button to the title track, Jeff Lorber bubbles into the intro and soon you will be listening to the track that takes Elliot into Boney and yes, even Whalum and Albright territory-funkiest jazz track I've heard in 2003-guaranteed you will stay stuck on this track for awhile. Rendezvous simply is not fair, it's got a nice head bobbin groove but is somehow melencholy at the same time-like you're rushing to meet a date but got a lot on your mind. So Good is Elliot having fun on the tenor (and a horn section) and is probably being played in the background in the pool room on his cd cover. Elliot keeps his core fans happy with the Seven Sacred Pools and the obligatory slow drag with your old lady cover that's on all his cd's with You Make Me Feel Brand New. He hooks up again with Lorber and Tony Maiden on the extremely urban Sake for Two and brings the house down with SLAM. Sly is supposedly a tribute to Sly Stewart which sounds like a smooth interpolation of thank you falettinmebemyself/rhythm nation/brandy's-sittin up in my room and is a fine closing to a set that continues the trend in 2003 of the jazz artist playing the music they enjoy, having that enjoyment shine through to their performance and less concerned with being catagorized (or even recatagorized).
