XYZ: The Story Behind

I can describe the latest release from Jazz sensation Wayman Tisdale for you with just one word Outstanding!

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce thats exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isnt a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and youve got one of Wayman Tisdales most impressive releases ever.

If you're even mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall In The Zone is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - Watch Me Play, track 8 - Dont Take Your Love Away, and track 15 - No Me Without You

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 10 - Washington High. Outstanding!
