Customer Rating:      Summary: Hot new artist fusing jazz and samba! Comment: Jessy brings a fresh new approach to the classics like Sin Ti along with originals like Tequila Moon her hot new single. My Brother and I had the pleasure of working with Jessy on video profile for a radio station in LA and found her to be delight to be around. She's bright and talented and has a great sense of humor. Check out the video interview along with her performance of Tequila Moon [...]
I love this CD and would recommend it to anyone who loves jazz with a latin flare.....even my 70 year old Father enjoyed it and can't wait to tell his friend about Jessy's version of Sin Ti....now that's music that appeals to all ages!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Absolutely brilliant ! Comment: One of my favorite smooth jazz albums by far.
Listen to "Mas Que Nada", "Fiesta Velada" and "Spanish Nights".
It'll probably give you a clean idea of the album in brief.
Cheers
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not Just A Pretty Face... Comment: Not just a pretty face, Jessica can really play! This CD is smooth and simple... and not simple in a bad way... simple in the sense that it's calming and easy... not a lot of LOUDNESS going on... something that can be played at the office while you get your job done, or at the house while you're grilling out. I initially heard this CD in its entirety on my favorite jazz station WJZZ, Atlanta, web site and fell in love with it. Now I need to purchase a copy for my jazz collection. I would highly recommend this CD for those jazz lovers who like the smooth, soothing sound of the sax!
Customer Rating:      Summary: [...] Review Comment: What can I say about new sax sensation Jessy J and TEQUILA MOON that will get you as excited about her as I am? Well, let's start with her bio... Ms. J was born in Portland, Oregon, raised in Hemet, California... of Mexican-American heritage... she began playing piano at age four... and she's a USC grad with a degree in Jazz Studies. This young woman lives with intentionality, personal discipline and persistence. Which led to Paul Brown (yes, the Paul Brown of fifty #1 Smooth Jazz hits) deciding to produce this album! Most importantly, the Jessy J sound is what will end up getting you. She soulfully caresses a supremely beautiful tone and feeling out of her instrument, whether it's her tenor, soprano, flute or voice (she sings "Mas Que Nada" in Portuguese and "Besame Mucho" in Spanish). Then there's the music itself, including seven originals, five of which were co-written with Brown. The first single, the title track, is already near the top of the Smooth Jazz charts! As I listen to TEQUILA MOON, I wonder if this is how I'd have felt on a first listen to, say, Boney James, or Dave Koz, or Grover Washington, Jr., and I'm thinking, "yes" because she's that good! This is one of those cases where you just know... from the music and delivery to her personal drive and dedication to excellence... there is absolutely no stopping this empowered performer. Join us in watching her Smooth Jazz star rise to the absolute top! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN
Customer Rating:      Summary: New jazz player Comment: Jessy J is more than a pretty face. She can play. Her approach to the saxophone reminds me of Grover Washington. She's not there yet, but I can definitely feel the vibe. Vocals are great on "Mas Que Nada", but weak on "Besame Mucho."
