An Extremely Gifted Bass Slayer,And well Overdue Release.The only reason i have taken off a Star is because there was not enough tracks and my personal fave tune is the Loeb penned 'your move'.
If you like this check 'on the right track' His best by far.
Free Music Review: Emotional set.
Hit: 4 Stars
Renowned bass player releases another fine Smooth Jazz album.
Collaboration has been an important feature of Gerald's musical career. He had a long and fruitful association with Grover Washington, Jr., and Joe Zawinul. He not only toured and recorded with those two masters, but he also contributed songs to their repertoire. Gerald's also worked with such important jazz artists as: Pat Martino, Special EFX , Pieces of a Dream and the Jaco Pasorius Big Band.
His latest set, "Your Move" is the follow-up to the 2007 live recording "Live At The Jazz Base".
Veasley gets support on several album tracks with songwriting, production, and guitar by Chuck Loeb.
The Fusion flavoured "Cross Currents" and bass dominated take on Sly Stone's "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" are among the highlights.
Smooth Jazz groovers like the opener "Hear Now", the riff laden and upbeat "Your Move" and "Traveling Light" will please those who are familiar with his style.
The first single from the set is the up-tempo Loeb composition "Slip 'N Slide".
Gerald says that he didn't really have a high concept for the theme of the new set, which shows off his four- and six-string bass playing in a number of styles. He explained that he just wanted it to be emotionally affecting: The only real theme was to kinda make the music have as much emotional content as possible, which is pretty much always an underlying purpose of all the music I put out. Didn't really think much about making a theme record like maybe I have in the past on some of my other records."

Other great tracks are the smooth cuts like "Greenwood" and "So Close To The Sun".
I like it.

Gerald Veasley's latest project is as smooth as smooth jazz gets! Gerald and his band (featuring smooth jazz celebrity Chuck Loeb) continue to create that sophisticasted and resplendent sound that is so distinct, it touches your soul in ways words can't define. This is definitely one of those "no need to press the >> button" CD's. Slip n' Slide, Three Tears and Traveling Light were the tracks I enjoyed most, but the highlight is the last jam, Roxanne's Dance, which is fantastically rhythmic and hypnotic as Gerald's bass and Chris Farr's sax combine to put you in that state you long to be in! Do yourself a big favor and buy this CD.
