"Out of the Blue" Reviews


Out of the Blue


I have really enjoyed this album very much- it is my favorite album that Jeff has done. Sounds like a Strat on just about everything on this record- keep playing the Strat, Jeff- it sounds great!

I've got Miles, Robbin Ford, Steely Dan, etc. in my car's CD player; I keep coming back to Out of the Blue over and over again. Just quality, listenable music. And, being a bassist, having most of the CD ancored by Tony Levin is a real treat.

A suberb piece of work! Jeff's mixture of smooth and belting guitar licks on "Indiana Moon", and "Wanna Funk" are better than most Clapton, Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray, or Jimmy Page ones you'll ever hear! "Velvet Touch" is a suberb composition with a mixture of intense guitar and subtle horn overlays----I could listen to this on an 'endless loop' for hours and always hear and feel something new every time I listen to it. "Lucky Strike" is intense with some soulful sax playing by Kirk Whalum. The drum programming on "Paradise Lost" is interesting and blends good for the audiophile.
Overall, a 'must have' CD for anyone wanting GREAT guitar intensity, smooth jazz, R & B, rock and almost as good as Jeff's "Dangerous Curves".

Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us, Jeff, and keep up the GREAT work! You make your guitar 'sing', 'laugh', 'cry', and 'climax'!

Saludos,
Your friends,
Michael and Beverly

P.S.: We are playing "Atlanta Nights" as one of the Prelude songs for our upcoming wedding, July 7th----we 'owe-you-one', Jeff.

This Albums is Simply Great..but his power point is still the presence of The Great James D-Train Williams ...
Thank you Jeff

Hey Jeff,

I saw Avenue Blue sometime last year recording tracks at the
Dark Horse Cafe on 72nd Street in Manhattan. The band was
really smokin'! (Jeff Levine on Hammond Organ is an
unbeatable combination!). Is that CD available in stores,
or can I purchase it directly through you??? If you could
let me know one way or another (as the song goes!), I'd
greatly appreciate it. Look forward to hearing from you
soon.

All the best,

Glenn

Dear Jeff,

Like someone else wrote earlier, I also would not have
been able to imagine an album better than Nightlife, but
Out of the Blue is very fantastic! There are no songs I
want to skip, and it *really* flows. And what fun to hear
Manteca! That really surprised me - and it gave me a whole
new perspective on Rick Braun, whose music I don't know as
well as I now want to. :-) Very cool, that was an inspired
selection, I think; is Dizzy one of your favorite artists?

Congratulations on a great CD, and I'm really looking forward
to the day when I get to see you play live!

All the best.

Sincerely,

Lois

I've been a guitarist since 1962, and have heard some of the greatest guitarists around.
Last month, a fellow musician recommended that I purchase "Out of the Blue" by Mr. Golub.
Suffice it to say that I am more than impressed. The solos are energetic and quite
exceptional. All in all, an outstanding cd. In the past few weeks, I have managed to
purchase all four of Mr. Golub's cds. The overall musicality is awesome; in fact, some
of the octave passages contained throughout are among the cleanest and most innovative
I've heard in many a moon. Messrs. Ritenour, Montgomery, Laury, and Benson would
be duly impressed. Best wishes!

Great!! A guitar-player's CD. You should "Step Out" more
often.

GREAT music. I've been searching for this kind of music all over the net. I won't be exaggerating by saying that this is among the best music available in the nineties! I would be vert glad if anyone could tell me about other artist who play the same kind of music and (if there is one) a genre name.

I just purchased "Out of the Blue" and it is a great piece of work. I have been wishing that Jeff would do a CD under his name and have waited since I purchased the first Avenue Blue CD. Believe me...it was worth the wait. I am listening to the cut Indiana Moon right now...one of my favorites. It sounds great with the sound coming from my big Snell A's! My call..BUY THIS CD NOW!

The more I listen to this CD, the more I like it. "My Everything" is a "throw up the hand and wave" tune!

It just gets better with each listening. You can't underestimate the fluidity of his playing, he is doing some amazing things on the guitar. The change in his line-up of Ferrone and Levin brings quite a creative energy to his sound, although nothing compares to his live performances.

New to jazz music and love Out of the Blue. I am particularly overwhelmed by Indiana Moon, it is....delicious!
Thanks Jeff Golub for a tremendous introduction into jazz music.

Jeff Golub is an absolutely AMAZING artist. It takes talent to produce consistently good work and Jeff does it with ease. "Out of the Blue" is good music. CONGRATS!!

Jeff- Couldn't wait to get your new CD "Out of the Blue"- Although nothing compares to hearing you live- this comes pretty close. You did good on this one!! It gets better each time we listen to it! (not sure I like the shorter hair cut though :-) ) Good Job!! Robby and Rick

Well, Jeff, you did it again! This is definitely a Grammy nominee album! Now it's time for a "live" CD, because if your fans love you now, wait until they hear a live show!
(Little do they know what Rackrat's capable of.)

I find that Jeff's new project jam's tastefully, somewhat
different from his 'Avenue' records which is okay by me. It's
one of the best 'cd's' out right now...pEaCe/rOb

Man, I didn't know what to expect from the new album except
that it would be jammin like the others but when I heard
Indiana Moon it hit me like a truck. That song is so awesome
I found my self shedding a tear. You really put it out this
time Jeff! It jams buddy!!!

one word.....AWESOME!

I didn't think it could get any better than "Nightlife" and then I heard "Out Of The Blue" for the first time! This is Jeff doing what he does best!! It has the feel of "Unspoken Words", but with a little more polish. Can't wait to hear these songs live.
