| Antoine fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with | | | | January 27, 1998 on the NYC Music label. |
| this one. With the release of Classical Soul Marc | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| Antoine's artistic excellence is on full display as Antoine | | | | 1. Smart But Casual |
| has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks | | | | 2. French Dream |
| that could very well be him best work to date. | | | | 3. P.C.H. (Pacific Coast Highway) |
| I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I | | | | 4. Unity |
| get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and | | | | 5. Universal Language |
| comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is | | | | 6. Timeless Line |
| usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to | | | | 7. Follow Your Bliss |
| get through. Not at all the case with Classical Soul. | | | | 8. New Boundaries |
| Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me | | | | 9. Classical Soul |
| to listen to from start to finish. | | | | Personnel: Marc Antoine (vocals, guitar, keyboards, |
| One of the nicer things about a CD like this is with this | | | | synthesizers, bass, programming); Bernadette Barlow, |
| level of talent even if Jazz isn't your favorite genre | | | | Allan Sovory, Larry J. Blouin (vocals); John Lewis |
| you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the | | | | (vocals, programming); Sam Riney (saxophone, flute); |
| artist. | | | | Mike Mainieri (vibraphone); Michael Mishaw, Chris Conti, |
| Listen to this CD and I believe you'll find there's not | | | | Michael Railton (keyboards); Jimmy Haslip, Armand |
| much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the | | | | Sabal-Lecco, Derrick Bourne (bass); Willie McNeil, |
| production is simply outstanding, and Marc Antoine is | | | | Lenny Castro, Juliet Prater, Steve Reid (percussion); |
| clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even | | | | Jason Daniel Silva, The Lumberjack (programming). |
| mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD. | | | | Recorded at Frazzy Frog Studios, France and Slamm |
| While this entire CD is outstanding some of my | | | | Shack Studios, North Hollywood, California. |
| favorites are track 2 - French Dream, track 7 - Follow | | | | All songs written or co-written by Marc Antoine. |
| Your Bliss, and track 9 - Classical Soul | | | | Samples include "The Lope Song" (Eddie Russ |
| My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in | | | | Jazzmasters). |
