This CD is truly a work of art from the soul of a very talented musician. The only question anyone trying to decide if they want to buy it is do you buy Smooth Jazz? If you're a Smooth Jazz fan then This One's 4U.

Chieli Minucci called Bill McGee after receiving his copy and said "I'm really honored to have you re-record My Girl Sunday. The production is great and you have great chops Bill. If we're gigging in the same area I'll definitely call you up on stage - Thanks"

Here's what Cedric James of KWJZ 98.9 Seattle has to say:
"Bill McGee's debut is an impressive coming out. The arrangements are clean and smooth. It's becomes apparent that Bill is no new comer to the business with regards to the performances on this disc. His version of the Minucci hit "My Girl Sunday" is excellent as is Nadia's Theme. The stand-out track is the title song, "This One's 4U". Congratulations Bill you're on your way sir!"

Bill McGee says "My favorite is San Diego Sunset, it takes me to another place in time. I also really like People Make The World Go 'Round. LaLa is a really hip song that I wrote for my mother and I feel that I solo my best on This One's 4U... I got into the groove and couldn't stop... Over The Rainbow and Jesus Loves Me is a spiritual favorite because both songs mean a lot to me. Over The Rainbow is my secular favorite song of all time and Jesus Loves me is the way I feel. Day-Oh is a favorite because of it's complex brass layers and the way James Gates plays on this song. My Girl Sunday gets great reviews from everybody I know and James Holden really plays on that song... Over all I think the album is well worth the money. I've compared my CD to my favorite CD's by other artist and it stands up well to them all, it's clean and the performances are great. If you like Smooth Jazz buy it, I think you'll like it. God Bless" - Bill McGee

Bill McGee was born in Richmond, Virginia, raised in Brooklyn, New York, Petersburg, Virginia, Jefferson City, Missouri, and Atlanta, Ga. It was in Atlanta that he began to study music while in the seventh grade. He then attended the historic Booker T. Washington High School which was the first public high school in Gerorgia for African-Americans. Martin Luther King, Gladys Knight, Jean Carne, Dr. Louis Sullivan, Julian "Nipsie" Russell, Rory Calhoun, Elmo Spencer, and Gewn Torrence all attended this historic high school.

  • After the first three notes, I knew I would buy it.
    author: Eddie Malone

    People makes the world go round is one of my favorite tunes back in the 70's, once I heard that selection, I knew right off the back that I had to have this CD without listening to anything else.

  • author: CD Baby

    This sinewy, sensuous, silky smooth jazz album featuring trumpet is one to challenge both smooth jazz lovers and critics. Maintaining its standard jazz foundation yet with sexy r&b undertones, flawless production, pop and funk colorings and 30 years in the music industry to tap into, Bill McGee's album is one to snatch up.

  • It is Slammin'!
