David Kikoski - Lighter Way - Jazz Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Wind creative person Saint David Kikoski have released him cadmium entitled Lighter Way. I am very confident and happy to denote that I believe Saint David Kikoski fans, and Wind fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Lighter Manner Saint David Kikoski's artistic excellence is on full show as Kikoski have once again delivered a superb aggregation of paths that could very well be him best work to date.

Unfortunately, it's not mundane that I acquire a cadmium from an creative person that I can just protrude in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't coerce myself to acquire through. Not at all the lawsuit with Lighter Way. Every path is gratifying and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this cadmium is the manner all of the participating people look to be really enjoying themselves. Compound that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Saint David Kikoski's most impressive releases ever.

Overall Lighter Manner is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Saint David Kikoski's best to date. Really dramatic from beginning to end. If you're level mildly into Wind music you'll bask this CD.

While the full cadmium is outstanding the truly standout melodies are path 1 - Blanket Of Byrd, path 6 - Florence's Reverie, and path 8 - Variation 1.

My Bonus Pick, and the 1 that got Sensitive [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is path 5 - Lighter Way. Good stuff!
