Keep your eye on this guy!.......2007-07-12

First the bad news: I wonder if Jay still needs to work on forging his own "signature" sound. He sounds like Chuck Loeb on one track, Jeff Golub on another, Norman Brown on the next, Chieli Minucci after that, and Zachary Breaux on yet another.

The Good News: If you put together an album with one or two killer new tracks from each of those guys, this is what it might sound like. I know it's hard to believe, but Stay a While is *that* good.

Stay a While (a title which is just bad grammar and not clever) is filled to the brim with that golden, dripping smooth jazz guitar that is so sweet, you swear it gives you a high. There isn't a single track on here you'll want to skip. And when, from practically out of nowhere, Jeffrey Osborne shows up on track 8, it's a welcome surprise.

After an outing like this, Jay will almost certainly join the pantheon of Smooth Jazz Guitar greats. And once he does settle on a signature tone (likely the next time around) that he can own, watch out!

A Must Have CD!!!!!.......2007-07-03

This CD ranks as one of my all time favorites. Jay is definitely one of the best guitarist on the airwaves today. Each track on this CD stands out as a great track to me. We all love to put a CD in, and just let it go. This is one of those CDs. The productions are simply fabulous!!! This is a must have CD!!!

This Should Be Your Summer Cruise CD.......2007-06-11

This is the CD that you'll want to pop into your car for that summer trip. Hopefully, it will turn that frown after you fill up your gas tank into a grin. It is an extremely uplifting and energetic album. You can tell that despite wearing the mantle of both musician and writer, that Mr. Soto is just having fun on this CD cutting loose. I think that allowing jazz icons like Jeff Lorber and Paul Brown and company to do the producing really allowed him to concentrate on the other fun stuff ... like playing. The album is great from start to finish. In addition, the mastering and sound quality are excellent. In this age of numerous great contemporary jazz guitarists, I think Mr. Soto stands out because being also an accomplished pianist, his tunes don't sound like a lot of the other guitarists. In any event, some of the tracks that stand out on this CD are "Stay A While," (the ultimate cruising song), "Love Has Found A Way," (a beautifully written vocal tune that Jeffery Osborne just takes the ball and runs with), "Slammin'," (an extremely fun and funky tune, which looks as though will be the hit single off of the CD), and "Daydreamin,'" which takes me back to my youth in the 1970s, of listening to those classic CTI recordings. Also, being a lover of the saxophone, I have to send out my props to Michael Lington who contributes some beautiful playing on this record, just like he did on Mr. Soto's first CD, "A Long Time Coming." There's definitely something for everyone on this CD, and definitely no sophomore jinx for this jazz artist with this fun and funky release. Go out and pick it up today and start cruising down the highway!

Smoothjazz.com Review.......2007-05-30

This is unquestionably the big breakout album for Phoenix-based guitarist Jay Soto. This guy's got the goods... the jazz chops, the looks, the poise, the panache. Add to those elements the all-star support team (Jeff Lorber, Paul Brown, Michael Lington, Euge Groove, and Jeffrey Osborne) and you've got a killer sophomore release that's already showing its stuff as it moves quickly up the Smooth Jazz charts. If you like Jeff Golub, Paul Brown and Chris Standring then you're gonna love Jay Soto. His playing is superb, and STAY AWHILE has that magical quality about it that marks it as a hit effort. The songs... every one of them... are solid, led by the first radio single, "Slammin'," which is rocketing up the charts. Ten of the tunes are either written or co-written by Jay... there's one cover, Stevie Wonder's "Send One Your Love," which sparkles with Paul Brown's production and Michael Lington's alto sax work. Then there's a Paul Brown original, "Jaywalking," that cranks out some energetic funk with the help of Euge Groove; and we can't forget Jeffrey Osborne's classy, smooth vocal on "Love Has Found a Way." So, let's review: Great songs, world-class production, as you would expect from people like Lorber, Brown, and Darren Rahn (Wayman Tisdale, Jonathan Butler), and a magical vibe. The result: An album that stacks up beautifully against all guitar albums on today's Smooth Jazz charts. Jay Soto's STAY AWHILE is a no-brainer for my "highly recommended" list! ~SANDY SHORE

Bridging the channel between smooth jazz and hip-bop/acid jazz are Down to the Bone, a band that mixes live horns with grooves and beats and comes up with something classy smooth. Down to the Bone are more about the dance floor than the listening room, but they do spice the mix with some up-front horn charts and often use interesting instrumentation (is that an oboe?) to keep things moving. --S. Duda

Album Description

1996 album by this moody, acid jazz/ trip hop act. Features10 enticing instrumentals, including 'Staten Island Groove'and 'Brooklyn Heights'. An Internal Bass Records release.

Down To The Bone.......2007-06-13

I've been searching for this CD for a long time. Think I got the
Best price!!

One of the best listening experiences ever.......2007-04-12

Rarely do I listen to an album that I love beginning to end, but this one succeeds easily. I never get tired of hearing it, and like another reviewer commented, it just makes me happy all the way through -- it's a great pick-me-up after a long, hard day. I can't help but MOVE to the complex layers of rhythm and music, all interwoven with amazing balance, and even though I've listened countless times now, it seems I'm always picking up some new element in the sound. Some groups play music, others MAKE music. DTTB is definitely in that latter category.

Can someone explain.......2005-10-25

why this album cost nearly $60? I was looking to buy it, but not for that kinda price. My "lone star" rating does not reflect my review but it's cost.

NOT THAT INSPIRED.......2004-08-31

When I heard "brooklyn heights" I hoped that this band had other songs in the same vein, but they do not.
The rest of the cd sounds like uninspired acid-jazz, with not enough musical chances taken.

"Brooklyn Heights" is such a great track, that it makes the rest of the cd seem inferior!

It seems like these dudes have the right idea of musicality, but they don't seem to take it as far as they should.
It sounds like they don't want to scare off their "smooth jazz" audience, so they keep the songs flat, and boring.

Had potential, but falls flat.

This is still better than average. After all, there are not many good Nu Jazz CDs today. Jazzelicious did a good job on Carmen McRae. It does not sound like old classical vocal jazz. Some people may think that it is not based on Carmen McRae, who is famous for straight vocal jazz.

c'est magnifique!.......2006-01-26

Bonjour,

At my local Barnes & Noble I had a chance to preview several parts of this cd. I found out that there were several artists whom I had and still enjoy, but taken as a whole I find its variety to be just the thing for a great road trip or listening to when working on my computer. Airy, French, mellow, spacial, hypnotic in places. A great mix of traditional jazzy european tunes with a fine mix of electronique..It's great...

Club Music, No Nu Jazz.......2007-06-27

Many DJs were trying to do some magic to old classical famous jazz, such as Sarah Vaughan or Nina Simon. Unfortunately, I could not find good ones until I bought this CD. Jazzelicious did a great job on Sarah Vaughan's Lover Man. It could even be appreciated by people who usually do not like classical jazz. It is nothing but Club Music with a little bit of Jazz. He did the same to Blue Bossa by McCoy Tyner!

I have seen these name thrown around (Acid Jazz and Nu-Soul Mix), but it was not until this disc that I understand the differents. Totally enjoyable.

Track four fails to impress me, but the rest of the CD is pretty good! I wish more acid jazz was available!

Cheers! M2

Funk Fortified.......2004-04-06

I was initially disappointed to open the insert and see that some of these cuts are 10 years old, but played it anyway since I had not heard them. I like everything on here except track 4! This is straight up funkdified soul-ish. Tracks 1,2,7, and 9 are the premiums, but this for turning it up loud on your patio with a cold one. Pure unadulterated move your groove thang vibe!

Great cd. I first listened to it at Tower Records. My only regret is that I didn't purchase it sooner. If you're looking for a laid back, Sunday afternoon listening cd - this is it.

Not what we hoped for.......2002-08-28

We loved the song "Main Street" which is why we bought the CD. Our local radio station played that song frequently on Jazz times. We found the CD to be kind of boring. But main street is an awesome cut!

amazing.......2005-03-22

I bought this on a whim from a used cd/record store, with only the caption "weird, melodic, electro-pop; commercial jingles for the clinically insane."
Those were the best $6 I've ever spent. The cd has addicting beats and bizarre lyrics. What an amazing upbeat cd! I would say it is like the Postal Service on methamphetamines. From children to hipsters, this cd will be appreciated.

almost perfect except for..............2003-12-31

This album is wonderful. The only exception in my book is the 'hidden' track, which is made for kids not the people enjoying this album. A few of the instrumentals can get tedious but are enjoyable in a way.
The rest of the tracks are strange, different little nuggets. '1983' is my fave but every song following it falls under the realm of instant happiness. 'Best Friend' should have been picked up by VW for a Beetle commercial. These songs are feel-good, sunny morning toe tappers that can make just about everyone walk away feeling just a little more bouyant. This is one album I can truly say I am glad I bought.

This album is too cool !.......2003-09-23

This is one of the coolest albums I've heard in years. I can't wait for their next release! The music is original from start to finish. Lots of different syles are explored. A great debut effort. After listening to so many albums where every song sounds the same this is REALLY a breath of fresh air. I love the use of extensive use synthesizers with acoustic and electric instruments. The band really explores many different sounds. The lyrics are mostly quirky and fun but they all have substance underneath. The mixes and multi-layered textures and wide variety of vocals used are really neat. I love this album! Finally something different and good.

LET ME GET DOWN LET ME GET DOWN.......2002-10-25

I think the coolest and most bizarre song I own out of the 5300 songs...I have is Electric Pocket Radio. One Millionth customer is just a cool as hell song layered and built up perfectly. BEEP BEEP Love is unavoidably addictive, and everything in between just rocks. Get this album, you couldn't possibly regret it.

Original!.......2002-10-06

If you're looking for some awesome songs that are unlike anything you've ever heard before, look no further. This is an awesome album all around, but the song Fuzzy has got to be the best Incredible Moses Leroy has ever done. I first heard it on a TV ad for the italian motorscooter Vespa. It's so adorable!

A Buried Treasure.......2004-01-23

I first became familiar with Tony Guerrero a few years back when I heard Mysterie from this CD on Music Choice. I picked up this CD in a used CD store and it turned out to be a great find. There are a number of smooth and relaxing songs featuring flugelhorn on the CD including "Mysterie", "Uptown", "Beautiful", "All Night Long" and "First Love". This cd is usually only available used now and rather inexpensively I might add. Don't let the low price scare you as to its quality, it's very good.
