5.0 out of 5 stars HOOKED ON SAXOPHONICS!, November 1, 2003

By 

Justin (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saxophonic (Audio CD)

I've had this cd in my car since the first day it was released, and it hasn't left my cd player since I bought it. I am hooked on Saxophonics! What I love about this cd is that each song has its own unique melody...there are no song covers in this cd...they're all original. That's special in my book! "Sound of the Underground" has a very retro, yet techno sound...I think that's very avant-garde thinking of Dave Koz and Chris Botti. The vocals to "Definition of Beautiful" was sang beautifully by Javier (a new artist I've never heard before until now). I could go on and on to say nice things about each of the songs. This cd is something you have to listen over and over again. Every time you listen to it...you hear something different that you didn't catch the first time. Each song is a new discovery! They're all well written and performed by the artists like Jeff Lorber, Chris Botti, Marc Antoine, Javier, Brian McKnight, Bobby Caldwell, et al. Check it out...you won't regret it! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Back With A Major Hit, October 9, 2003

By 

Mandu the Cat (Incline Village, NV USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saxophonic (Audio CD)

This is by far one of the very best albums by Dave Koz. His depth and growth as a musician comes blasting forward. The tunes are thoughtful, passionate and exciting. He has reached down deep and pulled these songs from his inner being and us lucky listeners get the benefit through a delightful album. If you have never bought a Dave Koz CD, start here. If you have purchased one before, add this one to your collection. You won't be disappointed!

1.0 out of 5 stars What happened to the magic, Dave?, January 22, 2004

By 

NHgboy (Southern Maine) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saxophonic (Audio CD)

Wow! I am a fan of Dave Koz, and have 4 of his albums. He is one of my favorite musicians because he writes or co-writes most of his material and his music is filled with emotion (mostly joy) and wonder.

This cd, however, seems mechanical as if Dave was just "fulfilling" his recording contract. For example, all of the songs in the "Act I" have no discernable melody and sound like Dave is just playing random notes on the sax while canned "muzac" plays in the background. Most of the cd is sterile, unimaginative, and devoid of emotion, and sounds way too polished--as if the band phoned in their performances from distant locations.

Buy "The Dance" or "Off The Beaten Path", or either of his excellent holiday cds instead and experience the magic that is Dave.
