What others are saying about Bad Kat Karma:

Cliff Gorov, All That Jazz Inc., October 3, 2005:
"I've LOVED Bad Kat Karma since the first listen. Hot, fresh & unique. It's time for vibes!"

Elaine Miller, freelance writer and contributor to Smoothnotesandnews.com, August 1, 2005:
"Steve Raybine is known as 'Master of the Mallets.' BKK has a nice groove with intoxicating, hypnotic and catching melodies."

Linda Logan, Programing Director/Morning Personality WAZS, 980 AM, No. Charleston, SC, September 28, 2005:
"I added "Bad Kat Karma to our Up & Coming rotation today. Very COOL music!"

Sonya Clark, Music Director WVAS, Montgomery, AL, October 3, 2005:
"Thank you for sending Steve Raybine's cd, Bad Kat Karma. I am enjoying it. It is perfect for our format."

Mike O'Brien, Talent Buyer, Genuine Jazz Festival, Colorado:
Steve Raybine is truly a gifted composer and dynamic live performer. Bad Kat Karma is currently our favorite CD!

Patrick Van de Wiele, Keys and Chords Magazine, Belgium:
A really remarkable, beautiful remake of George Benson's classic "Breezin'" ... listen to the "Master of the Mallets" at his best!

From the webmaster:
Raybine has released the title track, "Bad Kat Karma," a funky R&B cut with a drivin' rhythm section and a great vibe and sax melody. Raybine's second single to be released will be "Breckenridge Blue," a gorgeous ballad laced with vibes and sax, capturing the mountainous beauty of Breckenridge, Colorado.

Sandy Shore, President, Smoothjazz.com:
"When we refer to Steve Raybine as an accomplished musician, it's an understatement. Steve is not only a virtuoso vibraphonist, percussionist, and composer/arranger, he is also an instructor and clinician.... BAD KAT KARMA is the 2nd solo release for this talented recording artist. This new collection of mostly original Smooth Jazz adeptly incorporates urban funk, R&B, pop and Latin influences. Steve's infectious melodies are sure to get you groovin'.... BAD KAT KARMA includes a fun, laid back version of the George Benson smash, "Breezin" featuring former Auracle band mate, Rick Braun on keyboards and programming as well as acclaimed flutist Steve Kujala. Braun also appears on the beautiful ballad, "Indigo Night," playing his instrument of choice: the trumpet. Saxman, Nelson Rangell appears on the exhilarating tune, "Bop City."
