Here, submitted for your aural perusal,is a most listenable
musical journey from talented San Antonio,Texas - based
composer/keyboardist Anthony Pope With All My Heart is
loaded with engaging orginal melody and first-rate playing,
not ony from Mr. Pope,but from his solid sidemen.They include
saxman Richard Potter,guitarist Robert Marquez,and trumpeter
Al Gomez, along with bassist Fred Glasglow,drummer Derrick Hendrick,
and percussion programmer Nathan James Fair.
Anthony Pope touch on the keys, with it be piano or synth is
artful, sensitive and world - class,bringing the most out of
his tasty compositions and arrangements.Tempos and moods vary
nicely on this collection of eleven tunes from the hauntingly
delicate Two To Tango to the lively track Straight Up, which
features fine solo work from both Potter on the sax and Marquez
on the electric guitar.To my ears the highlight of this album
are the two beautiful sax-driven ballads With All My Heart CD
is a gourmet musical food that is digested easily and totally
satisfy your hunger for smooth jazz! Anthony Pope,was born and
reared,in Queens,New York his love of music started when he
heard his father playing the violin and mother playing the
piano in their home.He studied classical and pop piano a
nd progressed to R&B. Anthony performed in many local clubs
in New York.
Relocating to Texas, he further his musical studies at
St. Phillips College in San Antonio.Anthony's mixture
landed on smooth jazz with his debut CD tilted With All My HEART.
