Just pop in the CD and press PLAY. Alfonzo masterfully invites you in on his electrifying and seductive grooves. The opening/title track, "Dance To This" exudes melodic and infectious blends of stomp your feet soul and powerful alto sax bravado punch. A distinguished blend of hot contemporary jazz and urban rhythms inspired dance format. This format; unique only to Alfonzo Blackwell is ushering listeners to clap your hands and snap your fingers. This is can't-sit-down contemporary jazz at its finest.

I recently stumbled upon a really great saxophonist, and his name is Alfonzo Blackwell. This sexy sax man really knows his stuff. My dad loves smooth jazz music and he had his new CD "Dance To This" playing recently in his truck. I asked him, what was the saxophonist's name and now I'm a fan!

The title track, "Dance To This" is real hot! There's a track called "Back It Up", that's the funkiest song that I've heard in a long while. The horn blasts over the music with a vengeance. I never heard a sax player like this. He's got to be the best player out there today. I mean, my dad listens to Boney James and older guys like Sanborn but this man is not comparable to them at all. His style is very different. He's funky and soulful.

You got to get this CD; you won't be disappointed.
