Soo much music for one CD5
All I can say is WOW 22 songs 1 CD, I missed an important conference call listening to this album. It flows so nicely, I escaped for over 2 hours. Thank you Bobby Lyle. Thank you for introducing me to the jazz experience. I am a smooth jazz fan and the straight ahead music on your cd is incredible. The piano seems to flow ever so graciously throughout my stereo. I am a tru Jazz fan now.

The smooth disc is off the hook! The Barry White & R Kelly covers are the best I have heard. What a great idea, you did it with class and grace. Well done, I even played it in my soccer car pool this afternoon, the kids loved it and sang along. Step in the name of love, step in the name of love, step in the name of love Bobby Lyle.

All I can say is thank you.

Once the Genie, always the Genie5
For those of you who recall Bobby's late '70's work, this will be a pleasant surprise. In my opinion, an artist who can play all genre's of jazz is truly a jazz musician. And that is what Mr. Lyle does here. Sraight ahead, a little "fusion" if you will, and then todays "smooth" jazz. Then add a little Jobim for a beautiful rendition of "Wave." Listen closely to his improvisation over the changes. Thank you, Mr. Bobby Lyle.

It is Grammy time5
This is the first CD that I have heard that is hands down on my grammy list. There are other CDs that I love, but this is immediately on the list. It is the best CD that I have purchased in the past year. I hope smooth jazz radio will play it, however, if you want it, please go buy it. Radio can no longer define what great jazz music is. This CD is what music is truly about and I fell in love with it in my first listen. 22 songs that range across the musical jazz experience will be enjoyed by people of all musical taste. I can't imagine this CD not getting nominated for a grammy.
