4.0 out of 5 stars New York jazz vibes., March 6, 2007

By	latejazzlover (San Francisco , CA) - See all my reviews

This is Jeff's seventh solo album, which shows off his wonderful jazz guitar work and improvisation.
It is a cool, gentle journey through the ever evolving music of Jeff Golub. Along with a crispy, funky and groove-laden exterior there is some great blues & soul inspired work.
Jeff Golub wrote or co-wrote eight new songs for "Grand Central" in addition to covering Sly Stone's "If You Want Me To Stay", George Harrison's "Something" (produced by Paul Brown), and the soulful "Ain't No Woman", featuring the saxophonist Richard Elliot in a fantastic fashion.
It's feel-good album, lot of warmth, positivity and emotion in here.
It is infectious to the listener.
Jeff's melodies have consistently risen to the top of the smooth jazz radio and album charts.
It's a super smooth jazz album wich is radio friendly, totally laid back, this is about as good as it gets.
"Hello Betty", "Grand Central" and "Ain't No Woman( Like The One I Got)" are killer cuts on the album, worth buying alone just to hear and enjoy them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't stop listening to tracks from it., March 24, 2007

By	G. Bates (Rockford, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Contrary to prior comments, this CD on Narada (his 2nd for this label) is Jeff's 10th release where he is the featured artist (several releases were under the band Jeff lead called Avenue Blue). Golub contues to release material reflecting his evolution as an artist. Not squarely wanting to fit into the "smooth jazz" format, this CD has several tracks featuring Jeff's tight guitar licks with an edge beginning with the lead track "Hello Betty."

Jeff made sure to invite several good friends to help out with this project including Rick Braun, Richard Elliot & Kirk Whalum. Kirk will be on tour throughout 2007 with Jeff ( I know since I also just bought my ticket). I think you will find substanital difference in this CD compared to "Soul Sessions" but Jeff's guitar voice is always present.

AS good as the CD is, it does not capture Jeff in concert. Til you can see him, this is good way to pass the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow de Wow, June 7, 2008

By	Chris (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews

Saw Jeff twice in concert in Chicago and just past week in Pompano Beach, Florida with Peter White, Gerald Albright, Jeff Lorber. So bought this new album at that concert. Holy smokes, Grand Central will just blow you away. It has the same energy as Grand Central Station. One of those great road trip songs, I never tire of it. Mojito is also an infectious tune that you will be humming in your head over & over. But can't leave out Shockwave, it will grab you too. My 10 year old Grandson has now become a Jeff Golub fan too. But trust me on this, you have to see Jeff in person live in a concert, he is quite a showman and will take off on a lot of his songs, that you just don't get in a CD. But be sure to add this one to your collection and you'll get the Jeff Golub bug for sure!!
