All Music Guide Review

Finesse features John Klemmer's saxophone and his trademark Echoplex (debuted so wonderfully on 1978's Cry. Finesse was released in 1983 and places the saxophonist in the company of bassist Bob Magnusson, keyboardist Russell Ferrante, drummer Ron McCurdy, and percussionist Steve Forman. This is pop-jazz with real style and emotion in the light airy grooves. Check the title track with its sensual, sweet lyricism, or the sheer crystalline beauty of "Heart." This is not a blowing date, but Klemmer's lyricism and commitment to his material is complete, and the soul in his playing shines through. The band is unobtrusive, but in the pocket. The relaxed open feel of the proceedings is refreshing considering some of the material out there at the time. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
