These guys just totally put me to sleep. They sound like a hybrid of everything generic about lite smooth jazz. Background music for wine tastings and there is a place for that but its not my thing. Sorry but I don't get it at all.

Did they send you their album for a positive review, Shannon?

Their PR spammed the board thru private messages.

Considering that I actually live in Connecticut, grew up in New Haven and knew these guys from a former life in local band land..... I dunno what to say.... we can't stop PMs, but advertising is not permitted on the board....

Technically - this thread should be deleted or locked.... I missed it because I was away last week....

OK-
number one, I don't like the board being slammed. If one of our members wants to tell us about a new cd, fine...even a newbie, so long as they make an attempt to join in with us. But this stinks. It's like spam on the bbs.
Do as you please, Kat, I understand.

number two, before I posted, I took the time to listen to the new cd samples. They actually are ok, it's as good as some in this genre, but certainly not stellar. Sounded too generic to me.
And the quality of the mix and performances made them sound like a local or regional band, not a ready for prime time national band.
The starting post sounds like a combination of several of the reviews on their website. Sandy Shore seemed to like it, and several others....but it just doesn't do it for me.
New and different,well, not to me; sounded more like recycled Fattburger with vocals added. I liked Fattburger ok, but I think they wore thin after a couple cd's.

My 2 cents anyway....

TY

I'm going to close it, not delete it.
