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.
