| Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| seems like the more I listen to it, the better Full Stride | | | | 1. A Very Good Thing |
| gets. Full Stride stated simply is one of Rick Braun's | | | | 2. Nightfall |
| best CDs to date. | | | | 3. Hollywood & Vine |
| Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD from | | | | 4. One Love |
| an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to | | | | 5. Moonshot |
| from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two | | | | 6. China Bath |
| that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all | | | | 7. Magic Moment |
| the case with Full Stride. Every track is enjoyable and | | | | 8. Soul On Soul |
| was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish. | | | | 9. South Of Midnight |
| Full Stride is a nicely varied, mix of 10 tracks that are | | | | 10. Aqua Funk |
| very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist who | | | | Personnel: Rick Braun (trumpet, Flugelhorn, keyboards, |
| in my opinion is one of those musicians that has the | | | | programming); Peter White (nylon string guitar); Jeff |
| ability to just bowl you over with his talent. The kind of | | | | Golub, Nils Jiptner, Tony Maiden, Bruce Conte, Carl |
| artist it's really a treat to be able to listen to. | | | | Verheyen (guitar); Maysa Leak (vocals); Doug Norwine |
| Listen to and I think you'll agree that the song choices | | | | (soprano & tenor saxophone); Lee Thornburg |
| are excellent, the production is simply outstanding. | | | | (trumpet); Nick Lane (trombone); Mitchel Forman |
| While the entire CD is really very good the truly | | | | (acoustic & electric piano); Curtis Brengle (piano); |
| standout tunes are Nightfall [track 2], and Magic | | | | Moon Calhoun (synthesizer, percussion, programming); |
| Moment [track 8]. | | | | Donnell Spencer, Jr. (keyboards, drums); Brian |
| My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore | | | | Culbertson, Chuck Kentis (keyboards, programming); |
| [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8, Soul On Soul. | | | | Boney James, David Garfield (keyboards); Cliff Hugo |
| Good stuff! | | | | (acoustic & electric bass); Jack Daro (acoustic |
