Summary: Jeff Golub - Grand Central
Comment: Being a fellow guitarist, I can appreciate the work that goes into a project like this. This piece is one of my favorite JG pieces if not my MOST favorite. If you are even a casual jazz fan, you will LOVE this as I have. - SPK

Summary: Can't stop listening to tracks from it.
Comment: 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.

Summary: New York jazz vibes.
Comment: 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.
