This Canadian band combines soul and jazz with Afro and Latin rhythms. At times funky, at others it takes on a more melodic modern jazz air. Overall probably more jazz than world.

1. Dreamy and introspective. A slow, melodic flow. 2:52
*2. Instantly hot, a marimba-driving Afro funk groove. 4:57
*3. Dark, slow world jazz at first, then a horn-driven funk jam. 5:04
*4. Hip soul jazz w/sexy muted trumpet. Mostly midtempo. 5:19
5. Quiet intro to midtempo Afro-jazz w/a sexy flair. 4:20
6. Slow piano jazz then a midtempo world jazz grove. 7:53
7. Harp then slow & deep sax. Dark then liquid. 7:34
8. Quiet and slow piano, fluid & dreamy, leads into 9. 2:20
*9. Bright and upbeat horns & percussion, driving jazz funk. 5:10
