A blog called This Is Book’s Music has some really nice things to say about No Worries.

Saxophonist Larry Slezak and his band play some nice jazz that gets to the bebop side of things without going overboard, not that it does but some people prefer for their jazz to be on the straight and narrow. This is just that type of album, and with a title like No Worries (Tierra Studios) you get more of what you want and a bit more.

What you have here is some fine jazz courtesy of Slezak and brother Joe on drums, plus CLayton Dyess (guitar), Thomas Helton (bass), Jose-Muguel Yamal (piano and Hammond B-3 organ), Tristan Smith (English horn), Thomas Bacon (French horn), Dennis Dotson (trumpet), Fernando Ledesma (percussion), and occasional vocals from Sheri Lavo but not being too fond of vocal jazz, I ignored those songs and stayed to the instrumental pieces. The sound on this one, courtesy of engineer Glenn L. Wheeler, sounds like what a warm coat represnets: warmth and comfort. It sounds like those classic albums that you can rely on for comfort and a good listen, and when you hear “Girl Talk”, “Secret Love”, “Cry Me A River”, “and even a cover of “Chico And The Man”, you know you’re hearing the sound of musicians who know what they’re doing. Slezak’s solo in “Chico And The Man” is superb, and the fact that they even covered this song impressed me.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this album will be donated to the fund which gives financial assistance for medical emergencies to union musicians in the Houston area, which Slezak calls home.
