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.

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!

This cd from a group from Baltimore, MD that I heard in a concert that I went with a friend and love them. Their music was a nice combo on jazz, R&B.

bona fide is a great jazz group.something i can listen to and not have to hit the forward button all of the time.

I'm listening to this CD right now and if you don't have it, I suggest you get it right now.

If you like a mellow funky groove you will like this CD. Great for cruisin' in the car. Summer's coming this will sound good playing in your ride.

One of the best CDs I have purchased in a long time. I would highly recommend it.
