The Braxton Brothers are serving up a double dose of soulful grooves on this album, Rollin'. I heard their new single, It's You featuring Jamie Hawkins in the club in Los Angeles and really was impressed and decided to buy the record.

I truly appreciate this album because it represents jazz as well as r&b and epitomizes real musicianship. I recommend the Braxton Brothers, Rollin' to all my music lovers who are looking for feel good music that takes you back to the time when people use to hand dance and sit on the porch and listen to music and drink ice tea.

The Braxton Brothers are the real deal!

"When you touch me", created in the studio by Nelson and Wayne Braxton, must surely belong to the best that the human ear has ever heard.

This piece of music is a happy and relaxed composition which is technically refined and rhythmical, whithout being artifical!
It is the kind of music you can play for 24 hours and it helps to transform your day.
The two brothers have with "When you touch me" secured their place on a double throne in the Hall of Fame among such artists as Miles Davis, Bette Midler and Elvis!

It's a must! Buy it!

A must for any smooth jazz collection. The Braxton Brothers are an Outstanding pair of artist!!! Keep the creative jazz & R&B flavor coming

I don't know what took me so long to get anything by the Braxton Brothers but I am so glad I got this....Loving it

These guys really compliment each other well. Neither instrument overpowers the other, creating a well balanced listening experience.

I'm a big fan of the Braxton Brothers and I found a promo copy of this cd in a store about 5 days before it was due to be released, so I snatched it up right away. The songs are all very smooth and just seem to flow right out at you, yet still have that great beat that is the trademark of the Braxton Brothers. Some of the smoother songs include "Don't Stop", "Blue Sands", "Tonight" and "Anything for You". While those songs having a good beat include "I Want You for Myself", "When You Touch Me", and "Rollin". There are two songs which feature vocals "It's You" and "Love is Crazy". "It's You" has it all. It's soft with a good beat and romantic lyrics. "Love is Crazy" isn't all that bad, but it really didn't do much for me. This cd is definitely worth checking out.

I deliberately decided to wait to review this latest outing so that I could be as objective as possible about two Bay Area musicians I know I will always be partial to. The collaboration of their jazz stylings with a decidedly R&B flavor works quite well. I know that whatever product these brothers submit will be well worth it.

On this, their fourth outing, it is admittedly not on par with the last outing, the glorious "Both Sides." But this does not mean at all that I wasted my money purchasing this project. I see this as building a collection from a couple of excellent artists who can't always hit the mark each time. Yet there is ample evidence of comfort in their zone, the ability to keep the listener quite interested in their music, and a promise of excellent things to come. To pick out specific cuts and dissect each one results in the critic not being able to see the forest for the trees and in this instance it is infintiely more important to enjoy the project as a whole. Each listener will undoubtedly have their favorite cuts as it should be. But taken as a whole, this is another very commendable effort.

In the final analysis, this is a most worthy outing and a welcome addition to your smooth jazz collection; it should not disappoint in the least. It is just that when you follow an artist closely, you know intimately whether they reached the mark. The Braxton Brothers are a class act and I eagerly anticipate thier future projects as well as their contributions to others. Thanks again, guys for a nice, smooth, jazz-listening treat.
