An inconcievably remarkable sound and fresh style.

Using a spectacular arrangement of both Latin and Jazz, Tobaj has certainly put on a stylish and origional hat. The musical composition and simply astounding thought and care that went into creating the body to this CD is nothing short of breath taking. A 'must have' for any latin-jazz fan!

This cd has an excellent variety of beautiful tunes with great lyrics.
author: Susan Galaviz
This CD is excellent because of the huge variety of sensual English/Latin/Jazz sounds and lyrics. The up beat tunes are equally as enjoyable to listen to. I literally love every song on this CD. You find yourself day dreaming when listening to it. You can imagine yourself in Venice one minute and Brazil the next! I love a CD that can make that happen the whole way through.

A delightful album of smooth, mellow latin jazz.
author: Isaac Jones
No surprises here. Tobáj does latin jazz, and he does it well. He doesn't need to rock the house. Other artists do that. Intricate arangements, impressive Spanish guitar work, and wide-ranging vocals make this a pleasure form beginning to end. The songs evoke warm, tropical beaches, which will be a real pleasure during those dreary winter months, as well as for dancing at summer parties. Tobáj has a distinctive voice; he definitely doesn't sound like anyone else I've heard. That's a plus in these days of "me-too" productions. No one who buys this album will regret it.
