This review is from: Waiting in the Wings (Audio CD)

This album is another reminder why Smooth Jazz is so popular in North America. It maintains all the feel of great pop music; it's catchy, inspirational and begs to be played over and over. Daryl Stuermer, well known to any Genesis fan as a touring member of the band from 1978 to 1992 and constant back-up to Phil Collins solo works shines on his best album to date. The album opens with the title track, featuring the gentle introspective piano of Kostia whose '10 Pebbles' CD I still consider one of the strongest in the history of the Narada label. This is one of those tracks that jumps out at you, not in tempo but emotional richness; it's simply a pretty tune. Other stand-outs include the good natured acoustic sounding Copenhagen and Road Warrior which seems to draw some inspiration from Stuermer's old pal Jean Luc Ponty. I can't really pick a favorite on this album it's easier to point out that there isn't any filler on Waiting in the wings. This is the kind of CD that sets a career on track and leaves you running to the record shop for more Daryl Stuermer. One of the best Smooth Jazz albums this year. --by John Beaudin
