Steve Cole Between Us Smooth Jazz Music CD Review

Not sure what?s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Between Us gets. Between Us stated simply is one of Steve Cole?s best CDs to date.

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.

Between Us is a nicely varied, mix of 10 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist.

The nice thing about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Smooth Jazz isn?t your favorite genre you still can?t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

Listen to and I think you?ll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Steve Cole is clearly in top form. Of particular note on this offering is his amazing rendition of Together Again with TJ.
