5.0 out of 5 stars Smoothjazz.com Review, July 2, 2007

By	Sandy Shore (Monterey, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Paradox: the word can be defined as "a statement or proposition that seems contradictory or absurd, but in reality expresses a possible truth." Barry and Bobbi Sea both walked away from promising musical careers in New York years ago to raise their family in the suburbs of Houston. After the kids were grown, they revisited their musical passions and formed The Barry Sea Paradox. Which brings us to their debut disc, LOST SOUL FOUND SMOOTH JAZZ, an exciting, soulful romp through the halls of classic sax hits, featuring the likes of "Honky Tonk (Part II)," "Harlem Nocturne" and "Soul Serenade." This is definitely a fun, party kind of an album, visiting the more sensual, funky, and soulful side of Smooth Jazz, and it works! Credit Barry and Bobbi and their band, all first-class musicians who create an energizing chemistry on both the older pop hits, a brand new Barry Sea-penned song ("Bring Us Together") and the Smooth Jazz classics as well. Check out their funky take on "Maputo" and their cover of Santana's "Europa," with an entrancing beguine tempo and killer guitar solo from Andrew Burt. Then there's the outstanding vocal work from Yvette Busby, including an eerily haunting version of the Alannah Miles hit, "Black Velvet." If you're looking for a festive, fun album of sax-driven and vocal tunes that'll liven up that summer party or just put you in a good mood, The Barry Sea Paradox's LOST SOUL FOUND SMOOTH JAZZ is just the ticket! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN

3.0 out of 5 stars so-so-, April 22, 2008

By	Robert "Jazznast" (Philly) - See all my reviews

having looked forward to hearing this CD I was somewhat disappointed.tho the musicians are all capable and Harlem Nocturne and Santana's Europa are an allright rendition the rest of the album is somewhat lacking. The vocalists need to concentrate more on silence. This band, group, whatever should stick to polka parties and Jewish weddings.
