Smooth jazz --particularly the numberless cliche-happy saxophonists-- usually makes me cast about for ANYTHING less glossy and consumer-driven. Also, I get a nervous eye tic just hearing the frills, trills and grace notes that are compulsory for sax in this genre. I heard the track "Lola" on pandora and immediately had the thought, "This guy sounds different!" And he is: stunning tone, good improviser with command of chord changes and substitutions, better developed compositions than most smooth jazz artists (in the case of at least some of his writing), and --most important-- restrained artistic use of the trills and grace notes. I discovered at least 4 tracks on this cd that are much finer than the vast majority of music in the genre. Thanks, Jackiem, keep breaking new ground.... and never forget Cannonball [5 stars for "Lola", "Unforgiven" and "Say Yes", 3 to 4 stars for the rest].

I first heard a cut from this CD on satellite radio, loved it and bought the disc. This CD is terrific--only problem is that I keep listening to it over and over. Intend to purchase his other CD's

I usually have Directv on during the nite to sleep by. I awoke recently to the sound of Elevation by JJ and immediately fell in luv w/ it. I got up right then and ordered the CD. Several days went by and I recvd notice it had been shipped and delivered. I did not recv the item but u were kind enuf to send me another copy. I appreciated that tremendously. Now It just so happens I've purchased an MP3 download of a Marc Antoine track entitled
"Spooky," and another by a duet. Guess what? "Spooky" did not down load to my C hard drive though I was charged for it. Though I've had an account with you for several years, (originally with CD Now for my music) now I find 2 mishaps in the same 3 week period. That seems most strange to me. I don't mind the .99 cents, its just the inconvienice of not getting the tune. I've always liked the Boz Scaggs original track but was impressed with Mr. Antoine's version. I attempted to download it again 2 days ago and got a screen message telling me I had already bought the track. Should I reorder it? As I said above, I don't care about the cost, I just don't want to cause an error on my PC/laptop. Please advise!!!!
Rest assured I do care fondly of the Joyner album, Its quite nice as a listening piece.
Respectfully Yours

Wow! I am so impressed by this CD. It has something for everyone. Heard one song on the radio and took a chance on purchasing the CD. If you enjoy jazz of any form, you will enjoy this project by Jackiem Joyner. I look forward to his next CD. My purchase was worth every penny.
The pressure is on for Jackiem Joyner; a CD this good, the next one has to be even better!

I only purchased this CD after it was suggested to me, then saw him live in Orlando, FL. I was amazed at his wonderful stage performance and I fell in love with his sound. Great music! Hope to hear alot more from this young man...
"Perhaps it was the greatest performance of a rock show in Milwaukee, ever. At least it was for 2008. The Boss put on a show as only he could, with a powerful opening with "Gypsy Rider" followed by a exhausting three and a half hour set which included just..."
