| Group recording label, entitled Metro Blue. Unfortunately, | | | | Metro Blue Release Notes: |
| it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I | | | | Richard Elliot originally released Metro Blue on Jun 28, |
| can just pop in and comfortably listen to from | | | | 2005 on the ARTizen Music Group record label. |
| beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the | | | | 1. Inside Out |
| case with Metro Blue. Every track is enjoyable and | | | | 2. Camella |
| was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish. | | | | 3. Coastline |
| Metro Blue has a nicely varied, mix of 10 tracks that | | | | 4. People Make The World Go Round |
| are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding | | | | 5. Say It's So |
| artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the | | | | 6. Chill Bill |
| kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. | | | | 7. Mystique |
| Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are | | | | 8. Mango Tango |
| his own real life experiences. At different points | | | | 9. Maxi's |
| touching on the most real emotions of love, and the | | | | 10. Metro Blue |
| pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard. | | | | Personnel: Richard Elliot (tenor saxophone); Dwight Sills, |
| One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when | | | | Peter White (guitar); Rick Braun (trumpet); Gregg |
| the talent is this rich even if Smooth Jazz isn't your | | | | Karukas, Jeff Lorber, Phil Davis, Rex Rideout, Brian |
| favorite genre you still can't help but appreciate the | | | | Culbertson (keyboards); Nate Phillips, Ronnie Garrett |
| greatness of the artist. If you're even mildly into | | | | (bass instrument); Michael White (drums); Lenny Castro |
| Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall Metro | | | | (percussion). |
