 Kirk Whlum Performs , the Babyface Songbook Jan 05, 2007
The CD was okay, but not what I expected.
Whalum's Best Yet to Come Feb 20, 2006
While I listen to a great deal of jazz and smooth jazz, I find that the best listening in this CD is the stuff that leads him back to his gospel roots in the Gospel According to Jazz CD's that follow. This is an interesting collection that left me less than awe struck for some reason. I like Kirk's ideas and melodies, but his solo work is reserved and processed---more like what you would expect from a musician playing for juries or in a master class in front of his peers (college music majors should relate to this kind of starchy playing). It is accurate but lacks the depth of a Michael Brecker, Mark Colby or Dave Sanborn. Still, I would rather listen to this CD collection than a million Kenny G albums.
I am glad I own it, but wouldn't want to hear the rest of the albums that accompany each selection if this is the best.

Michael Jordan of Jazz Oct 27, 2005
Kirk Whalum is truly the Michael Jordan of Jazz. His worst music is better than most artist's best. This is a very good CD, but not really the Best of Kirk Whalum. From hearing his new CD, I have a feeling that the best of Kirk Whalum is still coming. Still, I would definitely buy this CD again.

 GREAT! Oct 05, 2005
The other reviews are wrong! I am a serious jazz fan..and I think the other comments are completely rediculous. I LOVE this album! I've listened to Kirk for years and I relate to the tracks on this album. A DEFINITE album for the collection.

 The Worst of Kirk Whalum Dec 04, 2002
Kirk Whalum is a fantastic saxophonist but this one is a disaster!! It doesn't deserve a mention let alone a place in the collection of true Jazz lovers. Please do not judge Whalum by this CD. I'd recommend 'Unconditional' instead.
