Mindi Smoulders- Gone is the soft-focus look and now Mindi is hot...

Reviewer: davidjd
Mindi Abair is one of the top-selling smooth jazz artists. But, never one to pigeonhole herself...Mindi seeks out a bigger audience with Life Less Ordinary.
A couple of the vocal tracks:It Might Be Love and Do You Miss Me? are definite Top 40 songs.
Life couldn't be less ordinary,now,for Ms Abair (a bit of self-deprecatory wit in the title?!).
She rocketed to #1 in Billboard's contemporary music section.
Mindi has established a richly-deserved big fan following the world over. It can only increase with Life Less 0rdinary.
The track,True Blue,kicks off these samples from her new album.
Her solo alto sax soars in this strongly melodic instrumental tune.
Mindi employs her trademark vocal chanting in the background.
The other instrumental is The Joint which would make a great film score for an offbeat gangster flick - with Mindi's slightly shady sax!
With each album (a perfectionist,she spends a long time working on every track...as her fans will tell you!) Mindi Abair grows in stature.
And if that sounds a cliche - it's a well-intentioned one.

Easily her best work! I have been a fan since her first record, but this album is her most complete and most adventurous album yet.

I love jazz music in general, but Mini Abair's sound brings me up off my seat. Her sound makes me feel alive like few other artists do.
