Customer Reviews:

Genre "correctness".......2003-04-25

At times when music is reviewed we as "public" reviewers tend to forget what genre music we are reviewing or perhaps are expecting something else to be heard from what we are listening to. Such is a dilemma with "smooth "Jazz. Labelled as Jazz could be a misnomer, in which lies the dilemma. But saying that, on the other hand there are varying levels or styles of " Jazz" and this type of music that Mr. Obiedo offers definitely falls into the smooth Jazz category, as it so is called. Nothing more, nothing less. So it is unfair to give a poor rating on an artist`s work after listening expecting to hear something which the artist in question is not the style he/she is presenting, or maybe what the artist wants to present to his buying fans. Ray Obiedo presents Latin influenced smooth Jazz. Just nice rhythmic, mostly instrumental, melodious, tuneful, subdued "Jazz" music. Which if your a Smooth Jazz listener you should enjoy.

latin musak.......2003-02-26

This is latin musak, not latin jazz. If you want latin jazz, try Pancho Sanchez, Chucho Valdes, Cal Tjader; but don't waste your money here. Mr. Obiedo's music lacks variety in the rhythm section; the percussion lines could have been (perhaps were) laid down by a drum machine. If rhythm isn't the essence of latin jazz, or any jazz, then nothing is. Mr. Obiedo has lost his latin soul.

Ray as good as always !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-10-01

This album is absolutely awesome, the Latin Jazz language is perfectly spoken here, and if you also like a subtle accent of Brazilian Jazz, this should be a must-have in your collection; this is as good as Ray's previous CD Iguana; please make yourself a favor and purchase this CD asap. You'll enjoy it !!

A very nice blend of jazz with a smooth Brazilian beat........1998-12-09

This is a very nice CD to have in your collection. It is the smoothest of the smooth, and if you don't watch out you'll find yourself bobbing within the depths of its soultry sounds. Of course Mr. Obiedo has other fine sounds within your reach. All you have to do is to fall into his groove and you too will know the true bliss of Jazz.
