Chris Minh Doky, the richly talented Jazz artist has released him latest album titled Minh and Wow! It’s really a good one.
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 that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.
Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Doky on several of the tracks. Artists like Lalah Hathaway and David Sanborn just to name a couple.
I’m of the opinion that Minh is certainly Chris Minh Doky’s best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Jazz fan can appreciate and enjoy.
While the entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 1 - I Told You So, track 2 - Every Breath You Take, and track 16 - Don't Get Funny With My Money.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8 - I Just Wanna Stop. Good stuff!
