Norman Brown - Just Chillin Smooth Jazz Music CD Review

Norman Brown, the richly talented Smooth Jazz artist has released his latest album titled Just Chillin and Wow! It's good.

I wish it weren"t the case but, it"s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can"t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Just Chillin. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Just Chillin has a pleasantly 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 with this level of talent even if Smooth Jazz isn"t your favorite genre you still can"t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

If you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall Just Chillin is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5, I Still Believe. Good stuff!
