Bennett on 'You're
the One' - first impressions !! |
 |
Wowzers!
truly awesome. i'm completely blown away at the quality
of the recording and the music. very excellent. sort of
a cross between john mayall's bluesbreakers and ole black
water by the doobies (? my memory fades, you know the
tune anyway). great vocal, harp fills occasionally, female
backup vocals occasionally, an awesome mix of acoustic
and electric guitars, lots of flange. man, this music
is completely top notch. i'm hooked .. |

'Jeza wined up' |
| jeza
wined up - how do i start? probably by saying that i have
listened to this cd many many times. that in itself says
quite a lot as i have hundreds of cd's at my house to
choose from ... and why do i listen to it over and over
you ask? well let me tell you ... |
| Jeza
has written and performed a number of different styles
on wined up. anyone remotely familiar with my own music
knows that i love variety. in wined up, jeza has reggae,
folk, pop and interesting blends of styles hard to describe.
the music is largely acoustic based and features jeza's
excellent vocals. the instrumentation on the album is
excellent, interesting and varied. when wined up arrived
in the mail at my house, i put it on the stereo and the
song circumstances
started a spontaneous dance party! this song and others
are catchy upbeat feel-good songs. lyrically, jeza has
a lot to say and he says it in a way that's easy to understand
and identify with. |
|
Besides Circumstances, the song that i remember most often
is 'how
can i help you?'. through corresponding with jeza
throughout the past several months, i'm thinking he wakes
up each morning wondering how he can do just that, help
people. jeza is a good friend and invaluable source of
information and inspiration. rock on JEZA! bud |

'Man in the Mirror' |
| Wow
Jeza, I love the new Man in
the Mirror. I think it has a definitely cool and almost
eerie feeling to it that matches the subject matter and
the lyrics. I think really, the way you have the background
of this song so busy and different from Roberto's flute
makes this song an ultra headtrip sort of reflective piece.
You've done a fab job on the mix and Roberto and DJLazer
add SOOOOO much to this tune. The guitar interlude around
4:13 is very tasty too. Double thumbs up Jeza! |
