Philip Bailey “Soul On Jazz” Smooth Jazz Music CD Review
By Clyde Lee Dennis

The exceptionally talented Philip Bailey has released his CD entitled Soul On Jazz. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Philip Bailey fans, and Smooth Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Soul On Jazz Philip Bailey 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.

Philip Bailey has been a heavy hitter in the music industry for quite a while now and Soul On Jazz is an excellent illustration as to why.

Listen to Soul On Jazz and I believe you ll find there s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired and the production is simply outstanding. If you re even mildly into Soul or Jazz music you ll enjoy this CD.

While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tracks are Dear Ruby [track 2], Bop-Skip Doodle [track 5], and Keep Your Head To The Sky [track 8].

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in “Stuck On REpeat”] is track 7, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy. It s a great track!
