En Route Has Arrived!!!
This is my first Four80East CD, but it definitely won't be my last... If you've read some of my other reviews, I've gotten somewhat bore of Smooth Jazz, well, it's probably more Smooth Jazz radio than anything else. So I wasn't expecting too much when I purchase this CD. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprise listening to En Route. This album is definitely a toe-tappin', head-noddin', and in some cases, a rump-shakin' joint. To paraphrase the original Funkmaster himself, George Clinton, "if you like a little Doobie in your Funk" give this CD a try... So far my favorite track, 51 Division, is sizzlin'....

Pleased with En Route
After listening to samples, I thought I'd take a gamble on a group I'd never really listened to before. If you're into a more modern, groovy-smooth kind of jazz; this is what you want. I must say, I don't love the first track. It's an otherwise decent composition with with some annoying "twilight zone" music chiming in over it. The rest are great, indeed for a road trip of just chillin. I'll check out more of 480east.
