This was an awesome discovery for me when I was looking through the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" list near the bottom of the page of another CD that I was interested in.

But this album is a litte bit different than the other contemporary jazz albums that I have. It's a little more jazzy in sound and in style, however, there's a fun and joyful quality throughout this album. Also, I always get in a good mood while listening to this album.

But if you're not familiar with the music of this album, check out the Samples to see if it would be something that you would like.

5.0 out of 5 stars SmoothJazz.com Review, March 24, 2010

Put the Yellowjackets' bassist Jimmy Haslip and keyboardist/composer/producer Jeff Lorber on your team, and you've laid the groundwork for a jazz classic. That's exactly what native Norwegian/L.A. based sax man Terje Lie (say "Terry Lee") has done for his latest solo release, URBAN VACATION. Hot on the heels of his critically acclaimed TRAVELER album, Lie has definitely cranked it up a whole lotta notches for this killer collection of ten amazing tunes, all but one of which were written by Terje, Jimmy, and/or Jeff. The one cover is an awesome treatment of the Roy Ayers Ubiquity classic "Red, Black and Green." Oh, yeah! This could easily end up being one of the top contemporary jazz albums of 2010. So let's break it down... Terje Lie's smokin' sax, Jimmy Haslip, and Jeff Lorber producing and playing and ten tracks of uber-hip, tasty fusion funk. What's not to love about URBAN VACATION?! When was the last time you vacationed? ~SCOTT O'BRIEN

This product was reccomended by Amazon. After listening to samples, I knew I had to purchase the CD. I was not disappointed. I had never heard of Terje Lie before, but thanks to reccomendations I get due to the music I've purchased before, I will keep an eye open for any more of his music
