Jim Brinkman Picture This Jazz Music CD Review
I can describe the latest release from Jazz sensation Jim Brinkman for you with just one word… Outstanding!
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.
Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Brinkman on several of the tracks. Artists like Dann Huff and Dan Shea just to name a couple.
Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Jim Brinkman is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD.
While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Sound Of Your Voice, track 6 - You Never Know, and track 13 - Hero’s Dream.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Dream Come True. Great track!
