Summary: Magnificent
Comment: This is what jazz can be.All the songs still sound fresh after almost 15 years.And what can I say about "after hours"? This song is a staple of any good jazz radio station.That song alone is worth the price of the cd.

Summary: Ronny Jordan
Comment: I was looking for a Jazz version of Miles Davis' song "So What" that utilized vocals - I didn't find it. I 'stumbled' onto Ronny Jordan's version - and dug it! Clean, crisp, well-structed and performed. Just as you start grooving, the CD is finished. The fastest 46+ minutes on disc! Good job, Ronny and company! (where have I been for the 14 years that this disc has been out? Mars, I guess! How I missed this man and his talent is beyond me!!!) Five stars!

Summary: Classy HipBop
Comment: I have been listening to this album ever since it came out,, and it still holds. As a jazzguitarist I remember that I was very curious when I first heard about Ronny Jordan in the beginng of the 90:s. His way of mixing the guitarstyle of all my heroes..like Wes Montgomery,Grant Green George Benson and Kenny Burrell did intrigue me,this combined with hip and heavy dance beats ..Jordans clean sound where he is not afraid of using space(little bit the same way Miles Davis did) and his fantastic sense for rythm and groove makes his music very appealing.,,and he plays all the right notes all the time..and of course I like his rework of Miles "So What".
Jordan kept on doing good albums during the years...although this the first one is the most genuine ,,so far in my opinion.
The ones that dig Ronny Jordan might also want to check some of todays more funkier jazzguitarists..like Jimmy Ponder or Peter Bernstein or Greg Skaff

Summary: Ronny's Debut
Comment: I have been a life-long fan of Hip-hop(but not nowdays, more christian), and this influences flows through this CD. Favourites cuts After hours, So what, and Summer smile. This CD was the beginning of my love for the Jazz Guitar. As far as I know, Ronny was one of the only few people to use hip-hop beats within his music. Why only two stars? Well the raps are very basic and spoil said tracks that they feature on. Besides I was never a big fan of Jazz Rap.

Summary: Ronny Jordan's Jazzy classic debut....
Comment: This peers to be the best that Ronny put out before jazz-rap started. For those that were into Tribe, Common, The Roots, Guru, Digable Planets, OutKast, or any other sorts of music should have this. I think it could be on the list of jazz and music history.
Songs that might turn u down into the groove: After Hours, Cool and Funky, and So What.
As to me I love smooth jazz and jazz is 'gon stay where it's at and it's never perishing. I recommend this who like rap, hip-hip or both. Maybe give it a shot in between. Whether u like it or not.
