Wayman Tisdale Decisions Smooth Jazz Music CD Review
I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz sensation Wayman Tisdale 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 isn?t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
The CD opens with a great track; Breakfast With Tiffany that I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It?s a really nice track.
Smooth Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well-known contributors on the project including Gerald Albright and Everette Harp plus a few other notables as well.
If you?re a Wayman Tisdale fan, or just a fan of Smooth Jazz music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.
Overall Decisions is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Smooth Jazz collection. Truly an outstanding Smooth Jazz CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.
While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 5 - Fell In Love, track 6 - Ready Or Not, and Track 10 - Taking The Lord Along With Me.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is Breakfast With Tiffany. Good stuff!

Changing The Way We Listen To Music With The MP3 Music Player
Not so very long ago most of us who are old enough to remember probably had a collection of vinyl albums that reflected our wide taste in music. Such technology was all we knew and, with the help of a record player, we could enjoy our songs without having to wait for them to come on the radio. Today, technology is so different that it barely resembles its former self. Music lovers of today carry around portable devices that store all of their favorite songs in a piece of equipment that is barely larger than our thumbs. The MP3 music player technology initially appeared in the mid-1980s but we would not see the player in its present state until the late 1990s ? 1999 to be exact. But when it made its appearance it would change the world of mu...
