Stevie Green - Friday, July 11th, 2003 Love your style and enjoyed listening to your smooth,funky sounds..This one is a winner! Dianne Paciocco - Tuesday, July 8th, 2003 c'mon over to my house is awesome. I have probably worn out the CD I have played it so many times. I cannot wait until the next CD.Thanks for sharing your gift of music. JJ JOHNSON - Thursday, June 26th, 2003 From one saxman to another: From one James J. to James G. Brother Gates, thanks so much for an ispiring CD as well as an inspiring sound. I can feel the energy in your playing and the excitement on various cuts, especially on "Gotta Move On" and "Six Minutes"(one of my favorites).I also enjoyed the Latin feel on "Take Me To A Place". Through the years I've listened to you since the early 80's I've seen alot of "disciplined growth"(if you know what I mean), and that can only come from a musician who hasn't become content and has allowed himself/herself to be placed in a bed of complacency.I can tell by the way you lean heavily on various notes that you're hungry for the next positive step, and I truly hope it'll be one that'll catapult you to the next positive level.As once was told to me by a long departed and "celebrated teacher & noted composer(Dr.Undine S.Moore); always surround yourself with other positive and focused individuals because they will help eluminate the path to where you want to go. Continue searching Bro.Gates and remember to carry the "CREATOR" with you as you pound each footstep into the sands of time. Musically yours, JJ Johnson Kendall B. Campbell - Wednesday, June 11th, 2003 Great job Gates!!! Seems like it took forever, but it was well worth the wait. Can I get an autograph now before it's too late? LOL Rob Dungee - Wednesday, April 30th, 2003 Music has to to not only Sound Good but Feel Good and, if it Feels Good to you it has to be Good For You. The production is tight, and each track has the energey i have enjoyed in Saxsmo every since i first met him and asked him to share that energy with my listeners on Magic 99's Jazz Show, in Richmond, Virginia. i'm so Glad to have this CD in my collection. Keeping Jazz Alive it's James Saxsmo Gates with a Sound that Feels Good All Over. Charlene Funderburg - Monday, April 28th, 2003 Just purchased the CD yesterday and has listened to it 3 times already. If anyone doesn't like this CD they need to have their Jazz card revoked. I look forward to your future projects, and will definetly introduce your works to every jazz lover I know. I thank God for your gift. -- Charlene Carrie Warrick - Tuesday, April 8th, 2003 This CD is remarkable!!! God has truly blessed you with an awesome gift.

Carl & Kim Woodson - Thursday, March 6th, 2003 Saxsmo has really done it now! With inspiration of memories from his loving mother it's obvious James put his heart and soul into this CD. It takes the listener from funky to smooth to fit whatever mood you are in. Congratulations, Gates, and God bless you. Diann Bell - Tuesday, March 4th, 2003 James, I love the CD!

Booker - Monday, March 3rd, 2003 "C'mon Over To My House" is riveting! It has everything any music lover could want; a little Funk,R&B,and Latin mixed in with Contemporary and Straight-Ahead Jazz.
