Editorial Review:
Got It Goin On is the culmination of Chieli's evolving vision for instrumental music. Featuring such special guests as hit-making saxophonists Jeff Kashiwa, Kim Waters and Marion Meadows, guitarist Steve Oliver, and bassist Gerald Veasley, all solo recording artists in their own right, Chieli explores many facets of his musical world. For instance, "Love Is Always Young" is a beautiful version of a song written by his father, the noted Italian born composer Ulpio Minucci, when he was in his eighties. Chieli's father had an impressive career in the music business and wrote songs for such stars as Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby and Julius La Rosa. "I could write a whole chapter on my Dad's life in music and his inspiration on me," Chieli says. " I felt a guitar rendition of his song would say enough about how I feel."
There are also good-time funk tracks such as "Good Times Ahead" and "Juice" as well as interesting re-imagining of "Still Waiting," one of Special EFX's signature tunes which is notable for the way it juxtaposes uptempo percussion and drums against semi-classical chord movement. Philip Hamilton delivers an impressive vocal on the studio version of the arrangement Chieli and his band have been playing in concert.

Rating: - This CD is beautifully cinematic
I listen to this CD repeatedly and have nearly worn it out after only three weeks. Chieli's style of play is poetically sparse, drawing the listener in with carefully chosen motifs while keeping the beat going. I love the wide range of emotions, moods, and riffs in this finger-popping CD. This is not one of those monotonous smooth jazz CD's where the music automatically repeats.
Each song in this CD is complex and all the songs together make for a large cinematic story that ranges from ... Read More
