5.0 out of 5 stars "LISTEN HERE...", December 2, 2000

to me, this is Regina Carter's most melodic and accessible CD. A CD that can "get down and funky," one minute, then "beautiful and soulful" the next and still have the flow sound so good, you just shake your head. Regina kicks it off in high gear with "Downtown Underground." She keeps it funky with her interpretation of the Eddie Harris classic "Listen Here." She makes the violin sing on her interpretation of "I'll Write a Song For You." "Soul Eyes" is just stripped down, beautiful violin that is soul stirring. And "Late Night Mood" should be recommended playing on any smooth jazz/quiet storm Saturday night programming. But the best thing to do is don't rely on the radio, BUY THIS CD!

This was my introduction to Regina's music. I love jazz violin and once I heard this CD, I was in love with her playing and style. I bought "Rhythms of the Heart" and while that is a beautiful CD, it had to grow on me. This one GRABBED me! Every cut is outstanding. A worthy addition to any jazz collection.

This CD was a very personal project for the artist in her attempts to reach her neice who apparently has some challenges. It is very interesting, but doesn't keep my attention the way some of her others do. I still prize owning it, as I will anything she records.

5.0 out of 5 stars Regina does it again!!, March 7, 1999

The latest offering from Regina Carter blew me away. I especially enjoyed the first track, "Dreamin' on the Nile River," as well as her remake of an Earth, Wind and Fire cut "I'll Write a Song For You." Ms. Carter even throws in a little Chaka Khan for fun and has great results. I recommend this title to anyone who enjoys the violin outside of "classical music" settings, the jazz violin curious, and the afficionado.
