Customer Reviews:
Awesome.......2007-07-05
As a jazz enthusiast, mostly old school, I took a chance on Paul Brown. Although I'd heard him on the radio during the occassional times that I do listen to the radio, I had never purchased anything he'd ever released as a solo artist. I must say, to my surprise, I LOVE IT!!!! It is truly smooth.
outstanding mix.......2007-05-22
every cut on this C.D. is a hit!
Paul Brown has assembled a great
combination of musicians
Over Hyped CD, But Still Solid.......2007-04-11
Paul Brown is a tremendously talented artist and producer with a wonderful engineering background that allows him to set the standard in smooth jazz for clean production and versatile music. However, content on his latest project, "White Sand" isn't musically expressive as the content heard on his first two solo albums. The artist collaborations on "White Sand" make it tempting to purchase, but you quickly realize Brown's musical wittiness and versatility (Smooth, Latin or R&B) are lacking. Overall it is still a CD worth paying for.
White Sand - Get into the beach mood!.......2007-04-10
Paul Brown's release of White Sand comes just in time for those winter-weary folks who are just looking to grab a relaxing spring music collection. Contributions by Bobby Caldwell, et. al. give each track a unique sound.
Peak debut is 4 pointer.......2007-03-25
I didn't read any other reviews before I bought this. I won PB's other 2 individual CDs. First, I think it suggests fromt eh album title that this was NOT Paul Brown rather it is Paul Brown & Friends. Interesting liner notes about the fantastic cover work and art in CD package. The entire CD has slick "smooth jazz" production and further demonstrates why PB is the undisputed lead producer in this format. Featuerd guests include Al Jarreau & Boney James. Several other notable guest artists too. Make no mistake, if you like a contemporary Wes Montgomery sound, this is what it would sound like but this CD gets 4 stars since I think the other 2 CDs were better. If you are deciding on a PB CD, look to the others first but this one will complete your collection of his featured work.

Obviously this collection of old pop hits is aimed at the smooth jazz set, not the mainstream jazz crowd, and by its standards, it gets the job done with its carefully produced blend of shimmering atmospheric effects, spare horn charts, lite grooves, breathy female background voices--and, of course, White's ringing melodic statements, for which he should be called Mr. Clean--if he isn't already. The songs include Van Morrison's "Crazy Love," Ray Charles' "Hit the Road, Jack," Burt Bacharach's "The Look of Love" and Bobby Hebb's inevitable "Sunny." The guest performers include Jonathan Butler, Bob James, and Jeffrey Osborne. --Lloyd Sachs
Customer Reviews:
Awesome guitar music.......2007-06-14
All I can say is, Peter White has done it again. I have most of his CD's and this CD takes me back to the feeling I had when I first heard his "Reflections" CD.
His music style is never tiring, in fact, the soothing effect is probably why I keep buying his CD's. When I'm in city traffic, I just listen to his CD's and my world is good.
Thanks, Mr. White!
Nice chilled out grooves........2007-03-25
Peter's ear for a fine melody and the delicacy of his playing make this collection of 60's/ 70's/ 80's classics a mellow delight.
Mainly Soul and Jazz material, check Jr Walker's "What Does It Take", and a smooth version of Grover's "Mister Magic".
White's fine acoustic guitar excels on the gentle and breezy spin on the Isleys' "For The Love Of You" and the Stylistics' "You Are Everything" featuring Jeffrey Osborne.
The supporting cast includes the likes of saxmen Boney James and Richard Elliot whilst Rick Braun and Bob James also guest.
Nice chilled out grooves.
Playin my favorites.......2007-03-10
Peter White is my favorite jazz guitarist - hands down. One on One is great, Hit the road is fun and Deja Vu is a delight. A nice addition to my collection.
Love It.......2007-02-22
We are Peter White fans & bought this for Valentine's gift. Excellent !
Another Winner.......2007-02-20
Peter White is one of the best smooth guitar playing artist around. You can feel his sensual strokes on every string he strikes. Every one of his cd's gets progressively better. Although his album "Glow" is my favorite,this one will not be caught in the back seat of my ride. Cuts like Mister Magic, Crazy Love and What Does it Takes to Win your Love makes the album worth having alone. If you like smooth jazz guitar, check-out this piece of ear-candy and enjoy the flavor. You will not be disappointed....

Customer Reviews:
At The Movies by Andre Rieu.......2007-05-20
Andre Rieu brings a warmth and pop-like aire to his music.Here he plays popular music with a classical orchestra and adds his special ingredients to it ie:humor (musical jokes for the serious listener),fun,light-heartedness.It's a band of very talented musicians having alot of fun as is evident in the playing and especially if you've seen them in concert.I can "hear" the smiles on their not serious faces by their style of playing...less staccato and with more feeling.Andre and company swing and dance through every track climaxing on Ravel's Bolero from the movie "10".
very beautiful.......2007-01-09
This cd is very beautiful. It captures the songs wonderfully. The orchestra does a fine job.
Refreshing Music.......2006-11-03
Andre Rieu presents wonderful songs in a very inspirational way. They are to be enjoyed as "dinner music" or just for times when the TV is off and you need some "quiet time". It is a great grouping of melodies.
from texas--AND FROM A MUSIC LOVER.......2006-08-30
ANDRE RIEU TAKES US ON A WONDERFUL TRIP BACK IN TIME TO THE MOVIES YOU CAN=T FORGET AND THE MUSIC THAT MADE THEM CLASSICS. DO BUY IT. IT IS A TREASURE...
Andre Rieu - Music for the masses.......2006-08-10
Sometimes you just want enjoyable music as a backdrop to the job at hand. I turn to Andre to get me through these events. Probably not a glowing endorsement, but if you know of Mr. Rieu's feelings about music, he would just smile and nod his head. This is music to just enjoy for the sake of music - and that is a good thing.

The smooth-jazz acoustic-guitar star gets his R&B groove on throughout many tracks on this beautifully recorded disc, and not just on the obvious tunes like the sneaky Isley Brothers cover, "Who's That Lady" (with Kirk Whalum cooking on sax), and the old Temptations number, "Just My Imagination," but also on the very funky "Turn It Out," with sax man Euge Groove, and the Latin-tinged "Bueno Funk," with Steve Cole on the horn. The rest of the album is about as dependable and complete an album White has put together since the promise he showed with Basia in the mid-'80s, which is to say smooth-jazz radio and fans are sure to be all over his thoughtful melodies and tasteful arrangements. Other guest stars include trumpeter Rick Braun, the ubiquitous keyboardist Jeff Lorber, and saxophonist Dave Koz, who warms the title ballad. More tracks sure to please fans of the very popular guitarist include "Pedro Blanco," and "Baby Steps." --Mark Ruffin
Customer Reviews:
Classical Master.......2007-02-07
Perhaps his best combination of smooth jazz with strong classical undertones, this album is a joy. It's heart wrenching throughout, underscoring some of it's composer's personal struggles during it's creation. The ability of this guitar great to translate that through your CD player or musical medium of your choice is magical! Beautiful melodies, soulful, and extrarodinarily creative. A tad off center from traditional White CD's, yet not one bit less worthy. One of my favorites!
Peter White is the Best Smooth Jazz Artist.......2007-01-10
Peter White is my favorite of all smooth jazz artists. And "Glow" is my favorite cd in my collection of over 1000 works. I always carry an extra unopened copy of "Glow" to give as an unexpected present when someone seems in need of a pleasant surprise.
Supersmooth jazz.......2006-11-10
This is my favourite smooth jazz album. I like the upbeat tempo, and especially the tracks: Bueno Funk, Who's that lady. No,I take that back, I love all the tracks. Also check out Walk on by on his album Reflections.
Another "WONDER" of the world! GLOW!!!.......2006-06-02
One "word" for this album......BAD (as in GOOD)!!! I have several Peter White CD's, and none are disappointing. I first heard him about four years ago in Detroit,MI.(with Dave Koz & Rick Braun), and was quite impressed. The man can deal! His music usually contains a fine blend of good sounds, "original, old-school, top hits, up-beat, smooth,etc." Sounds to fit any mood.
The sounds from this CD do much more than "GLOW". Staying power comes to mind.
Tied with "Caravan of Dreams" as his best work........2006-03-10
I have six Peter White albums, and "Caravan of Dreams" is tied with "Glow" as Peter White's best work. The opening track on "Glow" is my favorite piece by him, all tracks having improvised guitar work. Lots of energy for a smooth jazz album, and the final songs finish strong on both albums.

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!.

Don't know if it can get better than this.......2007-05-24
Peter White has had plenty of good songs and CDs, but this one stands out above all. The title is fitting, it's that good.
The proverbial "not a bad song" doesn't capture how good this CD is, because every song is very good or even better. The title track is one of the most beautiful tunes I've heard, while there's a nice rendition of Luther Vandross' classic "Don't Want to Be a Fool" and one of his better-known hits in "Autumn Day". But don't sleep on all the other songs; "San Diego" begins it with a nice and slightly up-tempo tune, while the last songs might not be the first ones played on the airwaves but are beautiful tunes all the same.
A Very good and relaxing music.......2007-02-02
All the songs on the CD are unique for each of them, the song with the saxophone is pretty good although the saxophone sound is a little bit estimated comparing to guitar. Most songs are sounding alike they have been taken from previos material by Peter and it looks like The Best of...by Peter White although the background of composing is different (from that Ive read in some other reviews on internet). It would be rather warmly welcomed for this artist to come to Montenegro and have a performance if by a chance he has a possibility. The label Columbia knows what appeals to be listened by the majority of customers so this is a hit indeed. There is a lack in cover though.
Smooth..........2004-07-08
This quite frankly is my most favorite Peter White cd. You can play the first eight tracks without having to press the "next" button on your cd player. Actually, the last two tracks aren't bad either. Perfect Moment, the fourth track on this cd, can easily make anyone reminisce. The sixth track, Autumn Day, adds a change in style by giving some beat to the cd as well as midnight in manhattan. Totally have to recommend this one for anyone looking for a solid smooth jazz cd.
It's Just Perfect.......2004-04-25
What I enjoy about Peter White's music is that so often his CDs combine his familiar rhythmic style with well-loved R&B tunes from the 70's as well as a melodic surprise or two. While this CD doesn't contain any retrospectives from the 70's, it is full of pieces with well developed structure and harmonious melodies. The surprise for me on Perfect Moment was finding three tracks that seemed to present themselves as being more than just "smooth." Another Rainy Day, The View From Your Window & Windy City are truly standouts! Each has layers and texture that make them more than just everyday radio fare.
I recommend it highly.
Perfect.......2004-02-07
I bought this CD in a music store in Hawaii, put it on, looked out the window at the sea and the sunset, and fell in love with Peter White. He is an incredible guitarist with just the right touch. If you find his music too "light", I urge you to see him in concert. He is a magical player, and his live performance is charged with energy. When I want to go back to Hawaii, I just put on this CD, and there I am!

What separates White from the crowded pack of smooth-jazz guitarists is his exquisite sense of melody. That skill is on full display on Confidential, easily the most well-rounded album of White's career. Among the highpoints here is the return of vocalist Christopher Cross, who shines on a cover of Brenda Russell's light bossa nova tune, "She's in Love." Other guests include pianist Brian Culbertson, who offers a Bob James-like solo on the title track, trumpeter Chris Botti ("Stormfront"), and saxophonist Mindi Abair, who graces "Are You Mine." But it's White's lines that soar throughout, like melodies in search of words. --Mark Ruffin

Great work from Peter White.......2006-01-18
I hadn't kept up with Peter White's releases for a while so added "Confidential" to my Christmas wish list. This is an excellent disc, in my opinion his best yet. I haven't been able to displace it from my car stereo after 3 weeks.
This work is a bit more uptempo than his others, many tracks have a pronounced bass drive and subtle programmed textures that add depth and complexity to the music. There's not a clunker on the disc, I highly recommend it. For my money Peter White is one of the best of the smooth jazz lot.

Same as "The Very Best of Acoustic Alchemy" I consider very relaxing music while I am driving going home no matter traffic jam and of course listening the CD at home with my family.
It's worth a listen.......2007-01-06
I have been a fan for 12 years and still love their sound. Since the death of Nick Webb Acoustic Alchemy has continued in his memory and honors his influence while moving forward and trying to incorporate other styles. Radio Contact and American English continue on with quality music. This is worth adding to your collection.

A pale, half-hearted set. Reminiscient of Positive Thinking from 1998, but without the energy. I can't fault the technical musicianship of the band: they're all super-accomplished. But this album left me cold. Blah.

A really Fine Romance.......2007-07-05
It doesn't get any better than these two playing these guys! Some of it was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Use your imagination... It's all just swell.
A Musical Treat.......2006-01-08
"The true mission of the violin is to imitate the accents of the human voice, a noble mission that has earned for the violin the glory of being called the king of instruments." ~ Charles-Auguste De Bériot ~
Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grapelli together had made some of the most beautiful music ever-recorded. And I believe that this is one of the many successful albums they recorded together. In this recording, both violinists have showed their excellent musicianship and interpretative eloquence as well, making it one of my most cherished CDs from my collection.
These are the main ingredients of a perfectly-made CD for your listening pleasure: mix violins, piano, bass and drums together, combine two terrific violinists, season with the best melodies in the 20s, 30s and 40s from Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart. Add the musical talents of Nelson Riddle, Max Harris, Martin Taylor, Eddie Tripp, Alan Clare and the rest of the studio musicians. Now all you have to do is to sit back, relax and savor these stunning melodies coming from your CD player. Listen to it in full-volume and fill your music room with the sheer beauty of these classics.
One of my favorite musical instruments is violin. With its four strings, it gives a whole wide range of musical versatility and I simply love the fascinating sound it produces.
My personal highlights are the best tunes from Jerome Kern - "The Way You Look Tonight" (Nelson Riddle arranged this particular track and conducted the Woodwind and Brass section), "A Fine Romance," "Pick Yourself Up," "Why Do I Love You?" and "All The Things You Are."
My choices from Irving Berlin's gems are - "Isn't It A Lovely Day?" featuring the great artistry of Nelson Riddle in arranging and conducting, "Cheek To Cheek" and "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm."
The Cole Porter repertoire represented his musical sophistication in "Night And Day," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Just One Of Those Things."
The choice cuts from the talented and creative team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are "My Funny Valentine" and "Thou Swell."
Listening to this CD is so delectable and equivalent to having my favorite dessert - be it Tiramisu, New York Cheesecake, Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Soufflé, Créme Brulee, Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate-Coated Strawberries! ;)
A musical treat.
