5.0 out of 5 stars Finger Snapping Jazz, April 30, 2006

Great jazz sound with an upbeat, funky groove on every track. Bona Fide, on this album, reminds me at times of the funkier side of Gregg Karukas & Bob James on keybords. On guitar, Bona Fide has a vey unique sound; somewhere between Russ Freeman, Brian Tarquin, and Peter White. The bass sounds lot like Gerald Veasely. Thankfully, Bona Fide does NOT go overboard with progammed percussion, which I think has been the worst "innovation" in Jazz over the past 10-20 years. If you like upbeat, progressive jazz with a funky groove to it, you will love this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bona Fide -- Fresh, artisitic, and as powerful a jazz band as they ever were!, October 6, 2005

Man oh man! For awhile, I wondered "Where in the world is B'more's finest: Bona Fide?" It's been a few years since these jazz bosses have been on the scene or in the studio...at least as far as I know, and I try to keep up! Well, let me assure you: These guys are BACK. They're just too prolific for words! They keep their signature groove going as easily as if they've never taken a hiatus. Fresh, snappy, original cuts from a trustworthy band of true musicians (a couple of new faces, I believe, but not missing a beat!). A must-have!

These guys are the bomb. This is a fantastic CD. It's hip jazz with a thump. Great keys, sax, bass lines, backbeats. Buy it!
