If you like Jazz this album is for you. As soon as you start to listen it was easy to hear the engineering and production was amazingly done, and the musicians were top notch. All the instruments blended perfectly. Matthew’s Saxophone playing was smooth and flowed through the songs. I found myself very entertained with the entire album. The title song “Cleveland Time” was my favorite, with some modern edge and a little hip-hop vocal hook. An excellent portrayal of the city of Cleveland. Overall, I am glad I took time to listen to “Cleveland Time”. It opened my eyes to another point of musical view. Give it a spin and I am sure it will do the same for you.
