Jim Brickman Destiny Jazz Music CD Review
Super talented Jazz artist Jim Brickman has released him most recent CD on the Windham Hill Records recording label, entitled Destiny.
This one grabs your attention right from the start with Part Of My Heart and doesn’t let go until the very last note of the very last song What We Believe In, which by the way is another great track.
These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.
Overall Destiny is a solid release. Quite possibly Jim Brickman’s best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you’re even mildly into Jazz music you’ll enjoy this album.
While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 8 – Love Of My Life, track 10 – By Chance, and track 14 – What We Believe In
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Part Of My Heart. Great track!
