5.0 out of 5 stars Thank God!! I have waited for this and it exceeds expectatio, May 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: You Have Reached Mike Phillips (Audio CD)

I was lucky enough to be at the Hidden Beach Recordings launch party in 2000 and I have been waiting for this cd ever since I saw mike perform there. The three acts that performed where Mike Phillips first, then Brenda Russell and Jill Scott closed it out. Since then I have purchased the company's WHO IS JILL SCOTT and live EXPERIENCE CDs the Brenda Russell PARIS RAIN CD and the wonderful UNWRAPPED. I have never been disapointed so I expected to love this CD as well. BUT even expecting to love it, it BLOWS AWAY MY EXPECTATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS SIMPLY PHENOMINAL!!! SUPERB!!!!!! THE BEST EVER FIRST ALBUM by a musician I have ever heard and I have a big collection!!!!!!!!

This is so good I can't stop playing it!!!

His energy is so powerful. I perdict this will be a CD by which all others to follow will be judged!!!!!!!

Quite simply, IT DOESNT GET BETTER and I am a harsh critic. This is my first review ever. There isn;t a bad song on the entire CD.

Order this one and you will be moved to write a review as well.
I hope this helps you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mike Phillip's changing the game, May 21, 2002

Mike Phillips delivers jazz licks like a master mc rhymes. The tittle track "you have reached Mike Phillips is both jazzy and funky at the same time. 'just one take' weaves notes that provide an ear full of a smooth melody that stays in your head after the song is over. "Huron Ave" is reminiscent of the sites and sounds of Chicago in the fall. "when my baby calls" is the ultimate slow jam to dance too. I predict this CD is going to be the summer jam for 2002. What I like about Mike Phillips uses his saxophone like a singer with a rich soulful voice and takes the sounds to a new level. His delivery though out the CD is a blend of jazz,r&b with the edge of hip-hop. Mike Philip's truly changing the game in the arena of "street jazz" Can't wait to experience Mike in concert!

4.0 out of 5 stars DAM HE CAN BLOW THAT SAX!!!!, December 27, 2002

I had never heard of him before. Luckily, he was performing live on WHUR here in DC and he blew me away. I got the CD and am not dissappointed...well except for the first 3 short intro things. My favorites are the slow jams, tracks 13, 14 and 15. Track 15, Maria, is sooooooooo beautiful. When I listen to it, I envision sharing a warm bubble bath with that special someone surrounded by candles and cold champagne. Mike does loves songs on the sax the way Luther does them on the MIC. Go get this one and you'll be a believer too. Mike Phillips...HE'S A BADD MAN!!!
