O’s Notes: Smooth jazz saxophonist Marion Meadows serves up yet another album of chart busters on Twice As Nice. The production team is “can’t miss” with Jeff Lorber (keys), Paul Brown (g), Chris “Big Dog” Davis (keys) and Meadows. We liked “Yesterday Is Gone” featuring vocalist Donnelly Smallwood, and the mesmerizing finale, “The Thrill Of Rain” featuring guitarist Paul Brown. Other highlights are “Step To This” and “Lunchbox”. This is a very good CD to set and forget when you are cooking dinner, driving or just getting into your groove.
