I think of jazz as good when it speaks, in its own voice, expressing the feelings the creator wanted to project and to which the listener can relate. The soul and heart of the music inspires the soul and heart of the audience. These songs had just that tinge of longing and that ray of hope that comes with good jazz and with which we all walk around. Great jazz is an entity, which expresses the human experience. This music in my opinion is great jazz with lots of passion and heart. I am very impressed by the articulate nature of this album. It was beautifully produced and has an attractive cover.

Another nice album Bruce. Very easy to kick back and let the tracks to you to places, unexpected places. I can't tell you enjoy creating these pieces.

Great music that speaks to your heart and soul.Via the guitars... Heavenly, hypnotic, compelling, profoundly beautiful music...

This album maintains Bruce's outstanding reputation for making quality jazz fusion music as showcased in earlier recordings.

My one critical complaint is that the clean electric lead could have had a bit more ambience and variety about it, it sounds a little too dry on some tracks, although taking nothing away from the very soulful and skilled playing. The bass, percussion and especially Hammond and Rhodes sounds continue to amaze me, beautiful, emotional playing from the soul for sure.

Favourite tracks - I just adore Vanished Moments, Alone On The Tracks, and especially Tell Me Madame Fortune Teller, which sounds like Latin jazz, Steely Dan and Santana all rolled into one.

Bruce - you are one talented dude and this album solidifies your reputation - certainly, your music is better than many people out there who are making a living from music commercially and we are so lucky to be able to hear this music and download it for free.

Bruce plays jazz-fussion, easy and unbothered with genre, like JJ Cale plays blues. Well that's about all I have to say bye :).

Ok, a pair more words. I am nor fan of this kind of jazz. It sound too polished and, well nice :). BUT, for some reason I like Bruce's work here. I think, that's for simple reason that I feel it like completely loose, easy and don't bothered with technicalities of genre. And I like Weather Reportish sinths synmths (Im sucker for sinth as some of you maybe noticed :)). So all my review is in first sentence here. All the rest is to say THANK you Bruce for you very inspirative and jazzy work here and thanks for sharing.

Pretty much what I expected - another stellar album with steaming bucketloads of heart. Keep the excellence coming.

Another great collection of smooth and funky jazz. The song that will probably get the most play by me is "One Last, Perfect Sunset". Incredible song!
