Struck by personal fate and affected by pandemic isolation, saxophonist Greg Chambers has maintained a positive attitude toward music and life. No Looking Back is his credo and also the title of his album, which will be released this year.

As with his previous productions, this time he has also placed emphasis on good quality and has secured this commitment with numerous professional musicians as listed in the credits.

He already expresses his joie de vivre with the opener
Let's Dance. That way Greg manages to get people of the ground. No Looking Back shines with outstanding sax harmonies and an eclectic melody.

Come On Over grabs your attention with sophisticated keyboard support and Greg's mesmerizing saxophone performance. Matt Godina delivers additional guitar riffs underlining the intended concept. It's Gonna Be Alright is Greg's confident positive response to the suffering he has had to share with many so far. Nils joins in the encouraging music with his guitar.

Like the mild sea air, Baja Breeze caresses the soul and body of the listener, who can not close himself to the romanticism of the song. The energetic Double Trouble travels on two tracks with saxophone and bass featured by Michael Fields Jr. who has already made his own appearance with his albums Love On The Buttom Vol. 1 and 2 and On The Move. Final tune of the album is Night Vibe displaying a firm sonic base.

No Looking Back epitomizes the talent of an artist who is for far too long in the second line of saxophonists. It's high time for Greg Chambers to step forward into the front row. This album could be the door opener.
