5.0 out of 5 stars "My Smiling Face"
I don't think I've stopped smiling since I walked into coconuts (a local record store) and listened to the entirety of this album. I was so captivated by the arrangements on this album that I stood in the store, starred into space, and coasted on the melodius journey this CD took me on.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting and nice rendition of the originals

I sing karaoke a lot and I found that the version of "Your Smiling Face" is a refreshing change from the studio version, using a lot of sax. Gets a great response from the crowd.

It is certainly nice to see the genius of James Taylor observed by outstanding jazz/latin/blues musicians.

One side note though: The CD jacket lists the titles on the back, but they aren't in the order that they play on the CD. Spooky isn't it!?

Buy it used if you can. It might not be worth full-price. But if that's all you can find, you likely won't be disappointed.

Cheers,

Spencer!
