"Tune It In" is vintage Tom Grant. I'm no music critic, but I do know what I like. And what I like is the consistent,smooth sound that Tom brings CD after CD. I appreciate the fact that he doesn't go off on a tanget somewhere trying to "find himself" as many smooth jazz artist have a tendacy to do on some CD's. I started listening to Tom about 9 or 10 years ago, and have yet to be dissappointed with anything that he's put out. If you're like me, and appreciate good music produced by an extemely talented musician doing what comes naturally for him to do, then I highly recommend this CD! Thanks, Tom for not trying anything crazy! Stay with what comes naturally for you and you'll have a life-long fan in me!! You're one of my favorites!!

Actually I liked the title track very much. My smooth jazz station in Santa Barbara played it while I was on the road. I usually listen to my station while I unwind on the commute home. I called the DJ who also like the title track and said the CD was pretty good. The first review here gave me doubts - but I bought it anyway. I am not a fan of VERY mellow lounge jazz. I prefer faster rhythm jazz that is more in step with flying down the highway at 65mph. When I listen to slower jazz, it has to have a seductive molodic thread throughout the number. There is no tune that matches the title track here. However, I found that all the ODD tracks were fairly good. All the EVEN tracks were intolerably slow sleepy efforts that would be an excellent cure for insomnia. I programmed my work PC for the odd tracks and found it enjoyable. However, 50% on a CD cannot rate more than 3 stars with me. Warning! Listening to the even tracks at work may cause you to doze-off on the job.

The music as a whole is beautiful. Very relaxing, upbeat, easy listening.
