Tied with "Glow" as His Best Work.......2006-03-10

I have six Peter White albums, and "Caravan of Dreams" is tied with "Glow" as his best work. The bassist on "Caravan of Dreams" is better than in his other albums, and the final songs finish strong on both albums.

Perfect.......2005-09-23

I can listen to a countless number of smooth jazz cds and still be entertained. Many cds sound alike, however this one sounds slightly different. The sounds are diverse, and are not completely linear(the same thing over and over again). The first song, Caravan of Dreams, is great. I enjoy City of Lights and Long Ride Home just as much. The other songs are good too. Each song stands out, but those three are worth the price of the cd alone.

Very joyful guitarist.......2005-07-22

I never go on any vacation without the song "Caravan of Dream" loaded in my mp3 player. It's one of the most joyful song.
I got to go, I'll come back and write smore later.

Smooth Jazz at Premium Class.......2005-02-24

Listening to his music it's a true enjoyable moment.
The dynamic rythm show his own premium class.
Last the only thing that I miss from this CD is the recording quality. I wish they will launch the SACD or XRCD version very soon so we can enjoy with good high-end setup.

Smooth jazz in hands of a velvet guitar.......2004-06-09

The actual generation jazz is supported by the guitar as the starring instrument. So the keyboards ruled in the eighties and the sax in the seventies.
I don't mean this as a fundamental statement but a clue approach to invites you to think about. Think, for instance in the the two top master keyboards, Gregg Karukas and Brian Culbertson and Dave Koz , Rick Braun as fundamental musicians.
Chuck Loeb is a major guitarrist too, but I'd rather prefer White may be due his musical ideas are supported by more innovative conceptions. In this album you may find out a particular universe in every track.
Which one of these tracks is your favorite? It's a difficult answer, but you'll find a delightful reason for Caravan of dreams or Venice beach. Ten tracks filled with beating sounds and musicality.
Obviously who can deny the huge influence that Wes Montgomery still surrounds to the new generations?
Wes became a kind of big tree who involves the spirit of legend guitar as George Benson, Chuck Loeb, Jeff Golub, Stanley Jordan or Jinathan Butler.
Buy this. One of the best albums in 1996 and still sound Ok. It doesn't age just a bit!.

Fleet-fingered fretman Monte Montgomery has quietly carved out a name for himself on the competitive Austin music scene as a poll-winning guitar hero and a must-see live act. What's more, on a scene known for blazing Stevie Ray-style Stratocasters, he's done it all with an acoustic guitar! Montgomery's first live effort, a double disc recorded at Fort Worth's palatial performing-arts venue Caravan of Dreams, showcases his guitar prowess and the popular appeal of his live band's propulsive power. Most of the acoustic rock-oriented material comes from Montgomery, as self-penned staples from his live show are interspersed with such favorites as "Wishing Well," "Whirlwind," and "When Will I" from his two studio albums. Montgomery and the band make the most of the live setting, stretching out the songs--five go past 10 minutes--with creative instrumental interplay. Montgomery also successfully mixes in a diverse selection of cover tunes, including a percussion-driven rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "World Turning" and a radically reworked, almost satiric take on Merle Haggard's "Silver Wings." The Hall & Oates hit "Sara Smile" and Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet," the latter the 13-minute album closer, also appear in personalized versions spotlighting Montgomery's aggressive acoustic-guitar excellence and his crowd-pleasing personality as a live entertainer. --Michael Point

Monte Montgomery Live at the Caravan of Dreams.......2005-05-18

I have had the privlidge of seeing him live in San Antonio a few times and he is great. However this live CD could be better. I would highly recomend the "Let Me In" CD by Ruben V. Or any other CD by Ruben V. He is the best Guitarist in Texas today.

Amazing.......2005-05-11

Start to finish this album is amazing. When one disc finishes, I put the other one in. A must have album.

Virtuosity is a little boring .......2004-12-31

I don't doubt that Monte Montgomery is the best guitar player in the whole state of Texas, and I don't doubt that he's something to see in person, but all in all I found this live CD a bit repetitive and lacking in variety. Too many of the songs sound the same: virtuoso guitar licks and heavy drums.

I listened closely to "Romeo and Juliet" which is one of my favorite songs. Yes, Monte picks out the melody beautifully now and then, but most of this 13 minute song is played like an exercise in complex chords and scales. Montgomery sings pretty well, and his back up players are good, but there aren't any songs on this two-CD concert that stay in the mind. Monte Montgomery merits 4 stars for being a helluva guitar player.

Okay recording of one of the best live performers.......2004-01-22

The recording and production of this cd fails to capture the complexity of Monte and his band. Three guys sound like 6, as carefully woven rhythms grab ahold of you until Monte shakes you up with his guitar work... when you see them live, or listent to a studio album. For some reason, the bass seems to get lost on this recording, and the guitar solos fail to cut through. Still a good cd, but could have been one of the 10 best in my collection.

I can't stop listening to this one........2004-01-13

I've seen Monte live several times, and have all his other albums, and this performance is as great as the sound quality. I really don't know what other folks are talking about, criticizing the mix or the performance.

And I'm sorry there is a dispute regarding the legality of this recording, but I don't get the logic that we should deprive ourselves of this great artist and his music! I just wish he would release more live material...

The ONLY live Sara CD, ever!.......2003-12-23

OK, you should know going in, half of the fun of a Sara show is the wonderful stories! I guess this gets 'EXPLICIT LYRICS' because it talks about things like tampons (!) and she might say, 'what the hell' once. Don't let that label scare you away!

Her singing and laughter are wonderful here. Soundwise, it has a very boot-leg-y feel to it. And the song selection spans most of the first part of her career (up to this point, I think Two Kinds of Laughter had just been released).

Starts out bad but gets better.......2003-12-16

On the first track, Going For A Song, Sinclair sings that he is doing another version of the same old song, and that he just rants on and on and on....more like he drones on and on.

This album is from progressive rock bassist, Richard Sinclair. He has been in many bands, but his first big break came with Caravan. He went on to Hatfield and the North and did a stint with Camel.

This album sounds like a cross between his material with Caravan and Hatfield and the North. The album features Andy Ward (drummer for Camel), David Sinclair (Richard's cousin and keyboardist for Cavaran) and Jimmy Hastings (session reedman who appeared on a number of Caravan albums). It is 60 minutes long and the sound quality is pretty good, even on the live tracks. The album cover has been changed. The original cover had an opened scroll with Caravan of Dreams on it.

The album does not start out well, with some fairly boring tracks. Maybe that is because they were not written by Sinclair, but were cast offs by Hugh Hopper and Pip Pyle. There are a couple of good Sinclair compositions in the first half of the CD, like Emily and some not so good, like Plan It Earth, where calls for everyone to recycle.

The last half of the album is live tracks, which are much better, except for Halfway Between Heaven and Earth. On this track he sings like he is underwater. It just sounds silly. The other live tracks are fairly good jazzy instrumentals.

Sinclair has a unique voice and style of playing bass. They mixed well in Caravan, complementing David's keyboards and Pye Hastings vocals and guitar. On their own, leading an album, they can get tedious. There are some excellent parts to this album, but some of it is dragged out too long or interspersed with annoying sounds. This would be great if it were reduced to about 35 to 40 minutes.

A great find for Caravan fans!.......2000-08-09

The Internet changed a lot of things for me. A few years ago, I was sure one of my favorite bands of all time - Caravan - had disappeared for good ages ago. (If you want to know why I like Caravan so much, you might want to have a look at the reviews posted here at Amazon of their best album, In The Land Of Grey And Pink).

Not so: through the Net I found that Caravan still comes together now and then - and even releases an album once on a blue Monday.

I immediately bought one of those albums ("The Battle of Hastings", released in 1995). And everything looked very promising indeed, from the album cover (depicting a part of the famous Bayoux tapestry) to the title and the line-up, which included keyboard player Dave Sinclair (whom I always considered to be the pivotal member of the band).

My God, what a disappointment! The CD has none of the magic of the old Caravan. It's a collection of dull, more or less "poppy" and very much middle-of-the-road songs, none of which are memorable in the least.

And then, through the Net, I discovered this album. And yes, I bought it, in spite of the earlier bad experience (after all, you either like a band a lot - and take chances - or you simply don't bother. I tend to bother.)

My God, what a nice surprise! This is wonderful stuff! Not really Caravan revisited, as such - which is a good thing, really - but very much a representation of what made Caravan a weird, whimsical and quirky band in the first place.

The sleeve notes (liner notes, if you prefer) mention that this is an "extension to the music from the Canterbury Scene". And yes, it has that flavour. With contributions from people like Hugh Hopper, Jimmy Hastings and (here he comes again) David Sinclair, this CD has all the things a release such as "Hastings" lacks.

Bottom line: if you like Caravan - more accurately: if you like "The Canterbury Scene", which also included bands such as Soft Machine, Matching Mole, Hatfield and the North, and others - try to get this album. Again, it's not a rehash of the old Caravan (although it does contain new versions of some older songs, such as a live version of "It Didn't Matter Anyway"). But - and this is what matters - it's a CD filled with the same peculiar magic that made Caravan a great band.

Lacking........2005-09-22

In 1986, no doubt Ronald Shannon Jackson had a challenge on his hand-- the Decoding Society had pretty much scattered, and with the loss of such powerful musicians, assembling a new band to succeed them was a difficult task. The second generation Decoding Society, guitarist Cary DeNegris, bassist Reginald Washington, violinist Akbar Ali and saxaphonist Eric Person on this recording persons in conjunction with African singers/percussionists Twins Seven Seven. The result of the collaboration, while interesting, lacks much of the fire that the older Decoding Society had.

By and large the pieces are invested in funky African rhythms, they have a nice sound, the playing is good all around (particularly Washington, who adds a good slap funk sensibility and slithers nicely between Jackson's rhythms), but there's by and large something really quite unfulfilling about the record. It just doesn't burn. The band did much better work, this is a curiosity piece more than having any intrinsic value.
