This is a CD that almost anyone can enjoy. Mr. Brown had a great deal of talent. He has a unique style and played the piano with the best of them.

Pure, Intimate, Gentle, Subtle in Every Way
This is by far my most-favorite Charles Brown album. The playing on this album is so pure, intimate and subtle that you simply cannot deny its deep, but very gentle impact. Charles' singing invites to careful listening and his singing and the band's playing will put you at ease, since they take their time to fully explore all the subtle finesses that can be hidden in one song. The music on this album is not about catchy licks, but it is all about ensemble playing at the highest level. Much credit goes to Danny Caron the guitar player and musical director of the Charles Brown band. If it was not for him than we would probably never have heard of Charles Brown anymore before Charles' departure. So we are very lucky that we can still share this beautiful music with the rest of the world.
