Tasty and enjoyable piece of music.

Many jazz fans I know don’t like the blues as they say it lacks sophistication. In that case, they should listen to MacNaughton Blvd.’s “Crosstown” CD – an album which blends the best parts of blues and jazz into one very tasty and enjoyable piece of music. With band members being fabulous musicians who understand what it means to play together instead of showing off and clever arrangements that resonate in listener’s head long after you take the CD out of your player “Crosstown” is a perfect way to spend the evening. Just take a glass of wine into your hand and enjoy your musical walk cross town.

If you like Blues and Jazz - then you will absolutely love this CD!

MacNaughton hit the nail on the head with this compilation of jazzy blues - all original! Truly "feel-good" music. Usually there are one or two songs on a CD that I can live without - but I like every single song on this one, and I just smile, smile, smile when I listen to this CD.

Am I listening to jazzy blues or bluesy jazz? Who cares! This album blows me away! "Crosstown" is recording brilliance – sassy, upbeat and crazy fun. Each member of MNB contributes his own signature talent. I sure hope there are other albums from this group out there. Any in the future? I sure hope so!
