Pieces Of A Dream Pillow Talk Smooth Jazz Music CD Review
Pillow Talk is the latest release from Pieces Of A Dream, and I can only think of one word to describe this CD - AWESOME!
I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Pillow Talk. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Pillow Talk has a nicely varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly talented musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Pieces Of A Dream most impressive releases ever.
Overall Pillow Talk is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Pieces Of A Dream's best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this album.
While the entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Forward Emotion, track 6 - Wake Up Call, and track 8 - These 3 Words.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9 - In That Mood. What a nice track!
