If you were not a jazz fan before listening to "Smooth Africa", you will be after it's completion. This CD is one of the best I have heard in a long time. The music is definetely smooth and mellow. It's unique'ness comes from the blend of the African and American jazz. A must hear CD.

The stunning album shows the depth and diversity of the music coming from Africa -Ebony Magazine April 2000

An excellent blend of smooth jazz with an African flavor. All my students enjoy it. They have often asked to hear the album when they are doing written work in class. It's not easy to please middle school students with something other than pop, rap, or hip-hop.[Definately "kid approved".]

I couldn't resist picking up this CD for the simple fact that I purchased the follow-up to this one and it was one of the best African Jazz CD's I've heard in a long while. This unique CD gives you the opportunity to listen to some of the jazz greats from the Continent. The listener is introduced to a smooth blend of melodies that capture the imagination no matter where you are and the instruments are a harmony that touches your soul. Pick it up soon, you'll like it!

One of the best smooth jazz albums I have ever come across. "Smooth Africa" is a surefire diamond in the rough!
