Grooving jazz, lots of "chill" sounds in percussion, flute, keys; with mellow sides of funk and "world" in there. Loaded with special guests like Oliver Lake on sax, for some exciting and aggressive solos -- those are the best moments, but they admittedly clash with the laid-back vibe. Some nice stuff; also some dangerously smooth tracks that take a giant step backwards, especially in the choice of Sade-like vocalists (and yes, I know Cassandra Wilson is one of them). 1- Loping beat, knotty horn line. 2- Slow sneaky groove, heats up later. Hyper drum start. 3- Lush and slow, with fast dance percussion and some squirrely sax. Overall Sade-like and unfortunate. 4- Slow, spacy, flowing. 5- Cheesy and dumb. Just don't. 6- More vocals, rather smooth 7- Light, spry, mellow, with fast solos. Deft bass intro. 8- Loungy female vocals, a slow bluesy jazz-club song. Nice. | ||
