Dressed To Chill by Marion Meadows: Smooth Jazz CD Review
by Lee Dennis, a.k.a. SmoothLee
Dressed To Chill is the latest smooth jazz CD
released by the
very talented soprano/tenor saxophonist and clarinetist Marion
Meadows who once again has delivered a brilliant
collection of tracks. I'm confident Meadows fans, and smooth
jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one.

samples of each song on Dressed To
Chill by Marion Meadows.
Meadows has been a superstar in the smooth jazz
genre for quite some time and Dressed To Chill is an excellent illustration as to
why.
These days it's a very rare CD on which every
single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one
of those rare CDs.
The CD launches with the title track, Dressed
To Chill and will definitely be heard on smooth jazz radio stations everywhere, and
deservedly so. From there Meadows and company proceeds to display why he is considered one the
best saxophonist of our time as he mixes his signature phrasings throughout the CD.
Smooth Jazz music fans will recognize some of
the well known contributors on the project including guitarists Chuck Loeb and
Freddy Fox plus a few other notables
as well.
Overall My Point Of View is an outstanding
release. What I call, must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any smooth jazz
collection.
If you're a Marion Meadows fan this is a CD
your collection should not be without.
While this entire CD is outstanding the truly
standout tunes are Dressed To Chill [track 1], Miss Know It All [track 4],
and Steppers...Let's Do This [track 10]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore
[...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7, Coco Flow. A very nice tune!
