One word describes the CD Inside from David Sanborn... AWESOME!

It's seems so rare to get a CD that doesn't have even one bad track on it that I really get excited when I run across one like this one from Sanborn.

There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

It has a good mix of 10 tracks by a clearly gifted artist.

The nice thing about a CD like this from an artist the likes of David Sanborn is with this level of talent even if Smooth Jazz isn't your favorite style you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

Listen to this CD and I believe you'll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and David Sanborn's sax playing is as usual, outstanding.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2, Daydreaming, track 4 Brother Ray, and track 7, Naked Moon.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9, Ain't No Sunshine featuring Sting. Outstanding rendition from the two giants!
