"The greatest saxophonist on the planet!"
"Spotlight" review, Vision Music, top internet music website
This uplifting instrumental Jazz CD is about energy and joy. It features Dennis on Sax, Flute and Clarinet, and includes the classic standard "When A Man Loves A Woman" (during which Dennis plays the highest note ever recorded on the sax), a soulful ballad version of "Standin' On The Corner", and 5 original songs ... a sax song ("Happiness") in an upbeat, energetic style; a fast-moving flute song that sounds like a movie sound track ("Onward & Upward); a nostalgic clarinet song ("1930's Kind Of Laid Back"); a romantic song that moves from ballad to bossa to samba and back to bossa again ("At Last"); another romantic song that moves from ballad to joy ("Our New Love").
