5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth melodies woven with great solos by a guitar master., October 19, 1999

This is smooth jazz at it's best. Brian weaves his melodies and solos like silk on skin, and mixes it with a variety of rythmes that range from latin to a blusey feel. He's one of the best, you can't go wrong with this cd.

Brian Hughes certainly knows what he's doing with that guitar, and it's no wonder why he's my all-time favorite jazz guitarist. Here's my track-by-track review: 1. Shakin Not Stirred- a nice way to kick off the album, very up-beat with a late 60s feel. Great piano solo by Les Portelli 2. Ready for Freddie- typical Brian Hughes- a smooth, mid-tempo song that puts me in a great mood. Featuring excellent trumpet work by Steve McDade 3. Once Again- a slow, sexy ballad that will make you think of the Bahamas on a summer night 4. For You- a very up-beat, postitive tune that just shows how well Brian can pluck those strings! 5. The Beat- my favorite song on this cd. It has a real Brazilian samba feel to it. Kinda reminds me of "Postcards from Brazil" from his One 2 One cd. 6. Man About Town- very nice- kinda reminds me of "Soul Fruit" from his Straight to You cd. 7. There She Goes- a slow, sexy song with more great trumpet work by Steve McDade(damn those two make a good pair!) 8. On Moonless Nights- another smoky ballad, sorta like Once Again 9. Smile- the title says it all 10. For You(remix)- A very cool remix of the song, featuring Third Force

This cd belongs in the hands of ANYONE who likes smooth jazz, Brazilian samba, late 60s funk, new age, light rock, or pop, or all of the above.

Brian Hughes is one of my all-time favorite guitarists, along with George Benson, Chuck Loeb, Norman Brown, Peter White, and Carlos Santana. This is a very good cd. The best tracks are Shakin Not Stirred, For You, On Moonless Nights, & Man About Town. A must for anyone who likes guitar music.
