I recently reviewed the latest album from this act. I talked about how much I loved their artistry at combining jazz and progressive rock into something very compelling. Well, that same mix of sounds is present on this earlier release, but it leans a little more heavily on the jazz side of the equation. The thing is, it works just about as well here, too. I think I prefer the new release, but this album is exceptional, too.

I like the energy and groove on this number. It has some killer jazz at its heart. It's not particularly challenging, but it tasty.

Now the prog things are in place on this number. It still has some jazz in the mix, but this is more rock based. I love the unusual and complex vocal arrangement so much. This is one of my favorite tracks here. It reminds me a little of Esquire at times.

Bass, drums and vocals are the only things at play as this cut gets underway. Piano joins after a time. The track gradually builds out from there. This is another that has healthy helpings of both prog and jazz in the mix. There are some intriguing changes built into this. It's packed full of magic and style. Some hints of psychedelia emerge in the guitar soloing later.

While this gets into more pure jazz zones, there are still rock angles at play. I really dig the bass on this a lot. Then again, everything about it works quite well. It gets into more pure rock based zones. The vocal arrangement on this is amazing with its multiple layers.

There is such a cool jazz meets pop and rock groove to this track. It's another piece of classy music. The vocal arrangement is one of the biggest selling points of the song.
