Free Music Review: Never judge an album by the one that came before it
Hit: 5 Stars
Hearing Ken wail on electric guitar on the closing track, "The Challenge," was quite a surprise. His trademark nylon six-string work is also present throughout the album, but the energy level is several steps up from its predecessor, the somewhat lifeless "Love Colored Soul." He's always had a gift for melody, and his virtuosity has never come into question. He just seems much more inspired and passionate on "The Meeting Place." It's his first album in a while that's flowed and functioned as an album (rather than a source to cherry-pick mix CD or iPod tracks from). My knowledge of Ken's career only goes as deep as this CD and the three that came before it, but I think it's safe to say that if you purchase it based on liking this kind of music and reading the different reviews here, you will not be disappointed. For future albums I'd like to see Ken continue to pursue the sonic diversity found on "The Meeting Place." This was an unexpected treat. Thanks, Ken.Free Music Review: A refreshing CD from one of the best!

The Meeting Place is one of those CDs that you'll instantly find yourself telling others to buy. It's not just another new smooth jazz CD, but a highly successful experiment in musical creativity and musicianship. From Ken's use of the electric guitar that complements his smooth nylon string guitar to Jay Rowe's mix of keyboard instrument sounds to Rob Holmes' melodic sax, the result is a refreshing sound that today's smooth jazz artists rarely attempt. In fact, in order to find electric & nylon string guitars together with the variety of keyboard sounds that Jay adds, along with some nice smooth sax, you'll have to go back in time to some older Rippingtons music, when the keyboard was still a "key" player on the musical team.
Don't wait to add this CD to your collection...or you'll end up having others telling YOU to buy it!
Free Music Review: Inspiring, arresting and rewarding album, one of the top ten of the year!
Hit: 5 Stars
Ken Navarro has achieved until this date, his masterwork with this peculiar album, gifted of an irresistible interpretative freshness, fabulous arrangements and visible inspiration. His version of Pat Metheny' s lakes is out of this world.
But track by track, the album is overwhelming. Of course there are highlights. I would bet for The challenge as the most complete and moving, but Lucky, Did you hear that, Language of peace and This time of evening re first-rate pieces.
I would affirm without any fear to get wrong myself this album must be included among the top ten smooth jazz works in this year.

Hit: 5 Stars
After a couple of disappointing releases for Shanachie and the tepid "Love coloured soul" the Nylon string master surprises with what has to be one of his best album's ever.Too many good tracks to choose a favourite , lets just say if someone produces a crisper sounding joy inducing Cd this year then i hope to be the first to hear it. By far my my most favoured guitarist ,i already own a mere 7 of his previous releases , all of which are superb ,i was still left Breathless at just how faultless this current release is. TRULY BREATHTAKING....buy it.Free Music Review: OUTSTANDING!!

This Album/Cd is one of his best works thus far.
I've met Ken back in Detroit at a Jazz Fest. I have alway heard of
his music. But then to see and hear the sounds that this man was putting out knocked me off my feet and I'm hooked. This Cd is one to have it's worth it's waight in gold. EVERY SONG!!!!
