Since September 2010, this blog has recorded the journey of this music junkie as I attempt to listen to all the music in my CD collection. CDs revisited in their entirety from start to finish - no skipping tracks, no shuffle. Compact Discs only - no vinyl, no tapes, no files.

Fattburger - Sizzlin' (2003)


The uncredited blurb on the back insert claims this is "The definitive Smooth Jazz Supergroup at the top of their game!" I'm not sure about all that, but I will say this album is very easy to listen to. I wish I had found it back when it was released in 2003 as it would have fit in with the music I often listened to when I was working on my first graduate degree which was a lot of Chris Botti and Down to The Bone.

Album chart peaks:
  • US Billboard 200: Did not chart
  • Billboard Contemporary Jazz: #16

Tracks: Like I mentioned earlier, it all goes down smooth and easy. At various times, tracks echo back to music from Najee, Spyro Gyra, Tom Scott, Rippingtons, and George Benson. I'm not saying that it's all derivative, I'm saying that the group was hitting to all fields on this one.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None
