Music reviews of Freedom at Midnight

Music Review: A true classic
Rating: 5 Stars

This 1987 opus "Freedom At Midnight" remains my favorite albums of his and has been since I first heard the title track and "Kei's Song" off this classic record.

The title track is one of the most brilliant and innovative jazz songs that has ever been recorded. It's a very joyous and uplifting jazz classic and the piano playing is amazing! Seeing him play this in concert was one of the best memories of ever going to a concert. Many may have already heard this track already but seeing him perform this live in concert was one of the best memories of my life. This song still is a great song to listen to and will last for countless years to come.

"Kei's Song" is another well-known classic in this genre. This is a really beautiful and warm song with a very romantic mood and excellent melody. Like the former, many have likely heard this track many times on the radio over the years but this song has also lasted well over the years and will over the countless years to come.

Both of these songs are among the best smooth jazz songs that have ever been written and rank up there with almost any of the best songs written by a lot of classic jazz artists.

My favorite track on this album is "Passion Walk". This song is in fact my favorite song on this album. It's a very autumn sunset atmospheric song and has a somewhat melancholy mood more like that of a sunset late in autumn when it's starts getting cooler and cooler outside. I love the keyboards.

I really enjoy the rest of this album too but these three songs are the best and warrant buying this timeless classic album.
