Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Before Ken Navarro launched his solo career, he honed his chops in the Los Angeles studio scene, a world where guitarists learn to play with superior taste, tone, and technique--or starve. On Slow Dance, a collection of original tunes in the smooth-jazz vein, the musician reveals a gift for melody that is as well developed as his guitar playing. As the title implies, the mood here is sultry, and even though the sonic textures are mellow, a subtle but insistent pulse drives the tunes. Navarro keeps the sound from becoming too monochromatic by switching between the lush timbres of a nylon-string guitar and the ringing tones of a steel-string electric. On tracks like "Things We Never Say," a moody conversation between guitar and sax, or "Lady's Choice," a slice of slow-burning R&B, Navarro's playing inspires an emotional response that words alone can't evoke. Slow Dance is not the sort of music you'd play during breakfast, but it would make an excellent soundtrack for a late-night rendezvous. --Michael Simmons

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow Dancing To Excellence, January 20, 2003
I have listened to Smooth Jazz for a long time, and nothing has touched me quite like this album has. Navarro's guitar excellence has a certain sound that catches the ear and doesn't let go until the final track is done. The songs are well written, played, and leave you in suspense as to how awesome the next song is going to sound. Forget Barry White, this album is certainly one you want to have playing at home with that special someone because it will capture the mood for as long as the album plays.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great one from KN, November 14, 2002
By "bell_tree" (Vancouver) - See all my reviews
I don't think 5 stars is enough for this album or more importantly, this artist.

This is the second Ken Navarro album I own (the first being the equally excellent "Island life") and to be completely honest, I don't know of anyone else who can put out a whole album's worth of excellent tunes from the opening to the closing track.

I plan to purchase his 'Best of.." except I might miss out on the gems that might not be included in it.
