The extremely talented Smooth Jazz artist Torcuato Mariano has released his latest CD on the 215 Records recording label, entitled Lift Me Up.This one will grab your attention right from the start with Lift Me Up and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song Rio Antigo, which is another great track by the way.Lift Me Up is a nicely varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly talented artist.The nice thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Smooth Jazz isn't your favorite style you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.Overall Lift Me Up is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Torcuato Mariano's best to date. Really sensational from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD.While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are Just Groove Me [track 2], Black And Blue [track 4], and The Way You Shine [track 7].My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 11, Another Day In Luanda. This is a great track!Lift Me Up Release Notes:Torcuato Mariano originally released Lift Me Up on Aug 22, 2006 on the 215 Records label.CD Track List Follows:1. Lift Me Up
