Just Getting Started by Eric Darius: Smooth Jazz CD Review
by Lee Dennis, a.k.a. SmoothLee
Talented young smooth jazz saxophonist
Eric Darius has released his latest CD entitled
Just Getting Started.
I'm very confident Eric Darius fans, and smooth jazz fans alike will
be pleased with this one. With the release of Just Getting Started the young and
extremely talented Darius's artistic
excellence is on full display as he has delivered a brilliant
collection of tracks.

Just Getting Started is Darius's second major
label release in as many years, and is a very soulful CD that's part funk,
part smooth jazz, all nice, and balanced just right.
The CD launches with a great track, Steppin'
Up,
that will definitely be heard on smooth jazz radio stations everywhere, and
deservedly so. From there Darius proceeds to display why he is destined to be a
top artist in the smooth jazz category. Displaying what is becoming his own signature, funky style
throughout the CD.
Contributors on the project includes an amazing
line up of smooth jazz and music industry heavy hitters. Names like Jeff Lorber
on several tracks, Paul Brown, Euge Groove, and the incomparable Brian
Culbertson. Plus a few other notables
as well.
Overall Just Getting Started is an excellent
contribution by the young and clearly very talented Darius and would be a great
addition to your smooth jazz collection. It's quite simply a very entertaining CD.
While this entire CD is outstanding the truly
standout tunes and SmoothJazz247.com favorites are Lover's Paradise [track 2],
Right Here, Right Now [track 6],
and It's Alright With Me [track 9]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore
[...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 10, Can't Let Go. Very nice!
