Jazz from Switzerland (actually, we get a lot of jazz from there!) It's in a modern-bop vein, uptempo nightclub jazz, a bit slick but nicely done overall. Led by sax and piano, with some electric piano here and there. But I do wish it didn't have that "sweet" sounding soprano sax on tracks like 3, 4 and 8.
1- Strong mid/fast piano bop
2- Quiet Rhodes solo
3*- Dark Rhodes intro, good stuff
4- Midtempo; melodic and a bit cheesy
5- Fast/mid
6- Lush romantic piano blip
8*- Overall cool sound; neato hand drums
9- Fast/mid
10- Mellow, cheesy
11*- Fast bop
