This cd is sultry jazz to the max from begin to end...
"You Might Say - Bugge Wesseltoft" is my fave cut, though I really like them all... If you're a downtempo/jazz/lounge DJ, then you absolutely need this... Either way, a jazz music fan or DJ - you need this cd in your collection... Peace at ya - DJ Dakini-NYC...

This cd should be listened to in the dark with or without the one you love (or love right now), sipping something cold and smooth with a bite.

You are alone and lost at night in a foreign city, and you just want somewhere to sit down and have a drink. You stumble down a dark lane looking for someone, somewhere, and you spot light coming from a doorway. You walk in. You think it's just a bar, and you take the nearest table and order a drink and look around while you sip.

Then the sound. Oh, the sound. It's pure, slow, hot love. You look at the people around you and see so many possibilities. You melt back into your seat, and make eye contact with the stranger at the next table. You realize you aren't lost; you're right where you want to be.

This CD has been in my player the last three days. Sultry songs, great female vocals, it's Jazz with very contemporary, slightly alternative, arrangements. The cuts with SYLK 130 and Elvis Costello are superb.

I purchased this CD along with "Sirens of Song". I listen to Sirens all the time, but not at all to this CD. This has a very modern sound that is not pleasing and certainly not classic in nature. This CD is well produced, but will only appeal to those who enjoy the modern jazz sound.
