Acoustic Alchemy American/English Smooth Jazz Music CD Review

I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz super group Acoustic Alchemy for you with just one word, Outstanding!

American/English grabs your attention right from the outset with The Crossing and won't let go until the very last note of the very last song The Moon And The Sun, which by the way is another great track.

Acoustic Alchemy is one of those groups that have the ability to just bowl you over with their collective talent. The kind of musicians it's really a treat to be able to listen to.

This CD literally grabs your attention right out of the gate with The Crossing and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song The Moon And The Sun, which by the way is another great track.

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 musicians.

I'm of the opinion that American/English is certainly some of this groups best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it's a collection that even the casual Smooth Jazz fan can appreciate and enjoy.

Listen to and I think you'll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Acoustic Alchemy is clearly a group that is in top form.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 1 - The Crossing, track 5 - The Detroit Shuffle, and track 11 - The Moon And The Sun

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7 - She Speaks American/English. What a nice track!
