(Which is dedicated to his wife, Connie) “Fred has the impressive ability to blend traditional and contemporary jazz styles simultaneously attracting a youthful following without alienating older jazz aficionados who yearn for the sounds of Kenny G., Gene Amons or a Grover Washington Jr. There are so many wonderful tracks on this CD that it is an essential addition to your own collection if you don’t have it already. …Adult Contemporary Jazz or as Fred calls it “POP JAZZ”, at its very finest and comes highly recommended”.
