  • Atmospheric!
    author: Tom Elferdink

    Blue carries you through beautiful musical landscapes while maintaining a consistant overall tone.

  • Wonderful phrasing -- beautiful expression of great music
    author: Bruce Knepper

    I love Dan's phrasing on this recording. Just when I think he's going to breathe, he doesn't. It keeps your attention on the music, and makes you wonder how much more he's going to express. This is a very musical endeavor by everyone on the recording.

  • Beautiful, haunting trumpet, a real listening delight
    author: Stephanie du Plessis ( New Zealand)

    We heard this wonderful music on Smooth Jazz streaming from the USA. Noticed several times, and various tracks all of which are delightful. Thanks CDBaby, this CD was not readily available in New Zealand. Love it.

  • Soothing, Mentally Moving, and Refreshing
    author: Manuel Jackson

    It has been a while since I've been able to sit and just listen. Blue After Hours sounds like a musical breath of fresh air, pure yet haunting. While listening I felt as if Miles, and Masekela were listening too. Thank you!!!!

  • extraordinary mix
    author: Lauralyn and Hank Theodore

    From the first note - this CD transends the listener to recognize the astonishingly fusion of tones, expertise, and overall talent of all musicians, led by Dan Jacobs.

  • An awesome CD well worth listening to
    author: Jim Newell

    The music was powerful and confident. It sent me to good places. It was good in the morning, afternoon and evening. Only the good music does that to me.

  • Pure Talent. Smooth.
    author: Richard Green

    Smooth Trumpet with crisp notes. Clean, upbeat, exciting at times yet mellow. A must for a Jazz collector.

  • absolutely fantastic listening pleasure!
    author: Willie

    I loved Jazz Standard Time by the Jacobs Brothers, but BLUE AFTER HOURS is totally over the top! Such aesthetics are part and parcel to the basic thrust of life itself. Thanks for opening new listening vistas for me personally.
