What Do The Critics Think?
“Kenyon Carter’s zest for life is apparent with every sinewy, shadowy, and sensual peek into Game On.”
“‘Game On’ is a pacey, soul groove enhanced by spirited guitar courtesy of special guest Chuck Loeb. Readers of a certain vintage may well be reminded of prime time Crusaders.”
"Whether serenely serenading, dexterously exploring the outer limits on a meandering run or uncorking fiery wails as if his life depended upon it, Carter’s sax play serves in the best interest of the ensnaring melodies and gripping rhythms without overstepping or over dramatizing.”
“Stirring it up from the corner where fusion and smooth jazz first met when smooth jazz still had some bite and fusion hadn’t had the corners rounded off yet, Carter brings back a welcome sound and heat. Plugging in to just the right time and tide, Carter delivers the good times that you just don’t want to see end. Hot stuff throughout.”
