Summary: Darius goes all out
Comment: Saxman Eric Darius makes his Blue Note debut with Goin' All Out. Darius has clearly tried to incorporate a number of different styles into the release, stretching his chops beyond the regular smooth jazz experience. The opening track `Just Like That' establishes an upbeat tone for the album although I found the hand-clapped beat a little too over-powering for the bouncy sax melody. A finer balance between drum programming and sax would also have better served a cover of Ne-Yo's `Because Of You'. `Just for the Moment' featuring the guitar of Norman Brown, and the title track boosted by a funky bass and horn section, are both engaging songs. Mary J. Blige's `Be Without You' also fits the bill with a slower R&B groove. Industrial sounds and rhythms drive `Vibe With Me' and `Feelin Da" Rhythm', neither of which would be too out-of-place on a modern dance floor, especially the latter. After the adventurous two tracks preceding it, `Ain"t No Doubt About It" feels like somewhat of a let-down as it heads back to safer ground. `Unconditional' reestablishes the rhythmic and melodic creativity of the earlier tracks however. The set concludes with `Breathe' a respectable but unremarkable number. With a few albums now under his belt, Darius is starting to show more maturity and establish a unique "sound" which can only bode well for his future. Reviewed by smoothjazzreviews.net

Summary: Another Winner For Eric Darius
Comment: "Going All Out" is Eric's premier release on the Blue Note label and what an auspicious beginning it is! The listener can hear and appreciate Eric's musical growth and maturity. His energy level still excites and promises an emotional journey. At 25 years of age, the sky is the limit for this gifted saxophonist.
If you haven't seen Eric in a live performance, you are missing something truly special. He is a force to be reckoned with.

Summary: Eric Darius-Goin' All Out
Comment: I had the chance to see Eric Darius last night(had seen him before, phenomenal artist!!!) and INSTANTLY bought the cd "Goin' All Out" after the show. I smiled listening to this cd all the way home!!! His stage presence is also what it should be! He's energetic, plays a terrific play list, hi-fives the fans while in the audience. It's no wonder why He's headed to the top! All the best to this kid!

Summary: Awesome Smooth Jazz CD
Comment: This is an awesome smooth jazz CD. Packed with flavor and flare. It has a total different sound, a sound you will fall in love with. This is amazing CD for someone his age, and this is only his third CD. I can't wait for his next ones. This young man has a great career ahead of him.

With the release of 2004's Night on the Town, Tampa, Florida-born saxophonist Eric Darius came out of nowhere to become one of the most promising and exciting young players in smooth jazz. Noted for his unflagging passion, Eric's albums and particularly his live performances, have been earning him fans at every turn. On his Blue Note Records debut album, Goin' All Out, Darius explores new directions incorporating contemporary R&B and hip-hop styles, bringing a fresh, youthful, urban vibe to his smooth jazz sound.
