THIS ALBUM IS GREAT. I'M LISTENING TO AVENUE BLUE - JEFF GOLUB FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS AND THEY ARE MY FAVORITE SMOOTH JAZZ GROUP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH PERSONALLY, JEFF FOR YOUR HIGH TALENT AND EXCEPTIONAL TASTE IN YOUR MUSIC. LOOKING FORWARD FOR NEW LIVE ALBUM. THANX, MARK. MARK VOLBIDAKHT BROOKLYN, NY USA - Friday, September 10, 1999 at 12:49:19 (EDT) I caught Jeff at the KIFM Jazzfest this summer in San Diego and was amazed that I never heard of Jeff before, and how he blew everyone else in the line-up away (Boney James,Richard Smith) Being a guitar player myself it takes alot for someone to "rock my shorts" I'm always looking for a player who plays from the heart and mixes jazz and the blues and plays from the heart. Jeff.....You da man!!!! Matt <mattrob5@prodigy.net> San Diego, CA USA - Thursday, September 09, 1999 at 09:40:56 (EDT) Glad to see this board back! Love all the albums.

Grreeeat! Have been listening to it for months now along with your other work. Say you at the Fraze in Kettering a couple of months ago. Only wish I could have been at Gilley's last winter. Hope you make it back to the Heartland soon. Keep playing man. Thanks......Bill H. Bill Haines <bhaines@cfanet.com> Springfield, OH USA - Wednesday, October 14, 1998 at 10:21:45 (EDT) THIS IS A TREMENDOUS C.D.

STEVE HILL <SMH15854@GLAXOWELLCOME.COM> PAW PAW, MI USA - Saturday, August 22, 1998 at 19:49:25 (EDT) Avenue Blue, you did it again. I loved it and I play it work all the time. I just want to know when you are ever gonna come to New Orleans? You guys would do so well down here! Make sure if you do come that Jim Biggins brings my sister with him. You can all come to dinner at my house! How about lasagna? Thanks for the great music. Your #1 fan! Love, Jean (Jim's sister-in-law) JEAN KASZANITS <KAZFAM@MINDSPRING.COM> BELLE CHASSE, LA USA - Sunday, July 26, 1998 at 09:56:10 (EDT) Yo Jeff! This is an awesome CD man. Hearing "Nightlife" played prominently on WJJZ in Philadelphia made me decide to go buy it. Awesome baby!

Kevin Glenn <kglenn@haverford.edu> phila., pa USA - Monday, July 20, 1998 at 13:38:30 (EDT) It's really great... I believe Jeff & Avenue Blue are the best Jazz-Funk performers. I listen to this album everywhere: in my car, at home, even on my comp's CD-ROM drive at work! :-)) THANX!!!!! Alexander <axym@dialup.ptt.ru> Moscow, Russia - Friday, July 10, 1998 at 18:32:15 (EDT) This cd sounds better with every play. I hope Jeff and company make at least one new release a year from now until well into the 21st century. They is just warming up! And I'm sure nobody minds if Jeff shows off a little now and then. He seems to be getting younger all the time. What's his elixer? Long time listener NY, NY USA - Sunday, June 28, 1998 at 13:47:29 (EDT) Normally, I'd do a track-by-track rundown. This time it's the overall vibe that counts... I only got this CD yesterday - I taped it and played in the car on the way to my office. I did not curse any other drivers! What a good-time, swinging album. This is gonna get played a lot! Chris Mann <cool_jazz_guy@yahoo.com> Bury, Lancs UK - Wednesday, June 24, 1998 at 06:46:35 (EDT) Jeff was the hardest working and soulful artist at the Capital Jazz Fest in Columbia, Md. This was no small feat considering the arrray of talent which included Lee Ritenour, Chuck Loeb,The Rippingtons, Al Jarreau, Michael Franks, Candy Dulfer,and Al Jarreau. I immediately played all three of Jeff's Cd's. Does anyone know how to purchase Jeff's 1988 CD? John Hubert <hubertj@ns.neiu.k12.pa.us> Dunmore, Pa USA - Thursday, June 11, 1998 at 15:09:51 (EDT) What an awsome show at the Berks Jazz Fest! You guys were absolutely amazing. Jeff, I admire the way you interact with the crowd and the fans after the show. I would see you guys again, in an instant. Hopefully you will be returning to the Philadelphia area soon. Thanks for the great music. Steve Steve fones <fones@worlco.com> Wayne, PA USA - Wednesday, April 29, 1998 at 16:10:09 (EDT) What an awsome show at the Berks Jazz Fest!

I cannot wait to see him live. Come to Florida. With Rick Braun on the cd along with the other guests it is an absolute sensual treat to the ears. You can't go wrong with Jeff and Rick working together. I love you both. Give me more!!

Jeff is the most soulful guitar players I've ever heard.I cannot wait to see him live. Jeff and Avenue Blue need to tour in Florida. Rick Braun also being one of my favorites. Between the 2 you just cannot go wrong. Gayle Johnson <Rainy63@aol.com> Winter Springs, Fl USA - Sunday, April 19, 1998 at 17:07:41 (EDT) Simple, full of soul, a VERY cool disk, i love the two firsts albuns but this one is the best... the title track "Nightlife" is simply AMAZING! Carlos Eduardo <carlos@pixx.com.br> Fpolis, SC Brazil - Thursday, April 16, 1998 at 12:18:58 (EDT) Being an amateur guitarist with a fairly good ear,but without Jeff Golub's obvious command of his instrument, I was immediately impressed with this effort. Seamlessly innovative, funky, and always tastefully creative. A real keeper!! John Hubert <hubertj@ns.neiu.k12.pa.us> Dunmore, Pa USA - Thursday, April 09, 1998 at 13:53:40 (EDT) Love "Nightlive" Makes great cruising music when riding a Gold Wing motorcycle with my husband.

Gale Racut <Racutswing@aol.com> Mesa, AZ. USA - Wednesday, March 04, 1998 at 23:47:28 (EST) I didn't know much about you except that when I heard Nightlife on the FM I liked it. Saw you along with Kirk Whalum and Philippe Saisse at Gillys in Dayton OH on Jan 21 and I was impressed. I purchased the CD on the spot and thank you for autographing it and it was great meeting you also. You have great stage presence; you're a true showman; God has really blessed you. The CD is great; love your covers; and I'm looking forward to your next release. Please consider covering the Detriot Emeralds "Baby, Let Me Take You In My Arms". Please excuse any mistakes...I'm in Naples, Italy and I'm sleepy. Later.... Debbie Parsley <dap54@aol.com> Springfield, OH USA - Friday, February 13, 1998 at 17:17:54 (EST) Jeff Golub is a breath of fresh air in the stuffy world of contemporary jazz. His playing displays a sophistication and style while exploring the boundries of R+B and soul. His live performance was fabulous and his personality really shone through. I guess all the excited music lovers really pumped him up. Jeff was so gracious after the show to speak with me for a moment and give me his guitar pick from the performance! What a cool dude! Rob Quinlan <rqskyfun@aol.com> Boulder, CO USA - Friday, February 13, 1998 at 08:17:17 (EST) Jeff I just picked up your latest CD today! After reading the following comments on this CD, It must be the same quality work as "Naked City". You and Rick Braun might become the next Lennon-McCartney for the classification of "Smooth Jazz". Thanks for the FRESH sounds! Andre White Andre White <andre.white@eng.sun.com> Sunnyvale, CA USA - Wednesday, January 28, 1998 at 18:33:14 (EST) For the last year or so, I've been tuning into public radio more and more..... especially the jazz programs on WVTF. I heard This cd played and decided I'd make my first jazz purchase. Thanks guys, for opening the door to some fabulous stuff. Being a guitarist myself (not of Golub caliber, of course) I've always been a huge blues and rock fan. I guess I've been matured into jazz. This is a great album, and will proudly recommend it to my friends. Hope I can see Avenue Blue live around here somewhere in the near future. Brett Alan Ergenbright <Gitrzan69@aol.com> Harrisonburg, VA USA - Tuesday, December 16, 1997 at 09:53:08 (EST) CD is getting a good play both herer and in Atlanta where I travel to weekly. Clean and uncluttered is how I would try to describe the style on this CD. How about a tour stop in the south? I think Jeff and Ave Blue would blow away Nashville. mike gandrow < > Chattanooga, TN USA - Wednesday, December 10, 1997 at 17:02:49 (EST) I saw and heard Jeff's "Nightlife" in person in Austin on November 21, 1997 and had to buy this CD on the spot! Thanks, Jeff, for autographing my copy. Bob James told us that he had never performed in Austin (THE LIVE MUSIC CAPITOL OF THE WORLD!), so the combination was truly awesome. Throw in some Philippe Saisse and Kirk Whalum on the same stage . . . . I'll still talking about it! Naked City is an excellent CD, as you know. The cut, Naked City, just makes me what to get naked . . . Thanks again and come back to Austin. We are starving for talent like yours, Jeff! Sandi Mills <srmills@flash.net> Austin, TX USA - Monday, December 01, 1997 at 22:55:03 (EST) I bought Nighlife last night and have not taken it off yet. Great CD as the other two I have. I love the BLUE!!!! I look forward to more great music in the future. I also like the cut "At the Backroom" you did on Brian Culbertson's CD. Cheryl A. Mitchell <c.mitchell@m-cllp.com> Houston, TX USA - Wednesday, November 26, 1997 at 08:27:48 (EST) Your sound is the best. The first thing I ever listened to was "Stockholm", I have never heard anything as smooth ever. Aveneue Blue is the best! Jeff Jordan <J81392@aol.com> Daytona Beach, fl USA - Friday, November 21, 1997 at 23:31:42 (EST) Jeff, "Nightlife" Album "Excellent! Especially like "Seventh Heaven" cut. Keep up the good work. Philip M. LaScala <lascal@wsavts,kuy18.k12.pa.us> Kingston, PA USA - Wednesday, November 05, 1997 at 14:01:04 (EST) #1 on the smooth jazz chart..I'm not surprised. Looking forward to an Ohio apperance. Mark Mowen <markmowen@worldnet.att.net> Copley, Oh USA - Monday, October 27, 1997 at 15:26:33 (EST) I heard the title cut last Monday, bought the disc on Tuesday, and have just fallen in love! The whole disc is fabulous. I am wondering if there is any way to get some sheet music so that our college jazz band could play it? We're actually pretty decent as far as "school bands" go. Anyway, thanks for some awesome tunes...looking forward to more in the future! Bethe Price <FCDS93A@Prodigy.com> Irving, TX USA - Monday, October 06, 1997 at 05:01:04 (EDT) The last album was great, but Nightlife goes beyond! I can't wait for Jeff and Avenue Blue to come back toward Massachusetts- I missed my chance when they were in NY. Congratulations on an album well written, produced and recorded. Sunday morning just got a whole lot better! Kim <wimpydog@msn.com> Peabody, MA USA - Tuesday, September 30, 1997 at 18:23:48 (EDT) I love the smooth grove that the Avenue Blue Band lays down for Jeff Golub. When I first heard "nightlife" on the radio I was taken by the awesome percussion play that "Soul II Soul" created about ten years ago. It was more than that. What really brought the percussion play home for me was when I learned that Steve Ferrone was the drummer on this cut. His skill made the "Average White Band" more than average - He made them legendary. This CD is a must have! Steven A. Williams <saw185@erols.com> Mechanicsville, VA USA - Friday, September 26, 1997 at 17:03:31 (EDT) While listening to some albums on display at Circuit City, I came across this jazz album. I don't usually listen to Jazz but I decided to give this album a try. It was the most extraordinary album. The guitar playing was legendary. It was Avenue Blue's album, Nightlife. It incorporates a blend of R&B and jazz that is outstanding. Eric Lynum <lynume@gte.net> Manassas, VA USA - Wednesday, September 24, 1997 at 14:21:16 (EDT) This ain't no decaf. This cd is fun! My eyelids are heavy. Gotta get to work in the morning. Can't help myself. Thank you Avenue Blue Boys! May we have another!! (smile) Elizabeth Nueva York, NY USA - Thursday, August 21, 1997 at 19:20:27 (EDT) Excellent. Just excellent. mish <mlindsay@ti.com> USA - Monday, August 04, 1997 at 21:06:31 (EDT) This is a comment at this point, rather than a review... I WILL get down to Tower Records as soon as they open tomorrow morning to pick up this CD! Jeff and Ave. Blue are dynamite! Add guests like Rick, Bob, Gato, et all and this has to be one killer release!! Bob McCall <rmccall@ix.netcom.com> Pleasanton, CA USA - Friday, August 01, 1997 at 04:36:28 (EDT) i just bought the album today and have been listening to it the whole day. what can i say... WOW!!! are there any tour dates for the san francisco-bay area in the near future? Jojo Miranda <jmiranda@concentric.net> So.
