Frankie V: Oceans of Dreams
This stuff is so light and airy, so creampuff-sweet, and so completely safe and unchallenging that it makes Kenny G sound like John Coltrane. It may actually be too tame for elevators and dentist's offices. There are practically no traces of jazz contained herein; this is strictly instrumental pop/easy listening. Of the twelve tunes, four are originals and eight are covers of well-worn pop vocal tunes from the last three decades, such as Elton John's "Your Song," James Taylor's "Fire and Rain," Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire," and Lionel Richie's "Hello."
