This international smooth jazz combo trades in sophisticated, sax-heavy numbers with a cocktail vibe and a knowing sultriness. The theme here is travel, with nods to foreign lands and the act of flying itself. The musical surprises and highlights are plenteous; the title track of this album features a tart, taut sound reminiscent of 1960s spy film music and "Motorcycle Hong Kong" verges on urban R&B. |
