West Coast Coolin' by Norman Brown: Smooth Jazz CD Review
by Lee Dennis, a.k.a. SmoothLee
The exceptionally talented Smooth Jazz Artist
Norman Brown has released his third and latest CD
on the Warner Bros. recording label entitled West Coast Coolin'. I am very confident
and happy to announce that I believe Norman Brown fans, and smooth jazz fans alike will
be pleased with this one.
With the release of West Coast Coolin' Brown's artistic
excellence is on full display as he has once again delivered a brilliant
collection of tracks that could very well be his best work to date.

Coolin' by Norman Brown.
West Coast Coolin' is what smooth jazz is all
about. One of those rare CD's on which every track is great making it easy to
listen to from beginning to end.
The CD offers a buffet of smooth melodic tunes.
Kicking off with I Might, a song that features an outstanding vocal contribution
from the very soulful Carol Riddick that will definitely be heard on smooth jazz radio stations everywhere,
and deservedly so.
From there Brown proceeds to display why he is considered
one the greatest smooth jazz guitarists of our time as he mixes his signature
groove throughout the CD. At times very audibly showing the influence George
Benson has had on his playing.
Overall West Coast Coolin' is an outstanding
release. What I call, must have music. I give it two thumbs up. Even the casual
smooth jazz fan will appreciate and enjoy Browns very nice smooth style.
The standout tunes and SmoothJazz247.com
favorites on West Coast Coolin' are I Might [track 1], the title track West Coast Coolin’
[track 3], and I’m Comin’ Over [track 5]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got
Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8, Let’s Play.
Very nice!
