Nice.

(3 out of 5 stars)

"i'm not heavy into "smooth jazz," but most of these songs are chunkier than dentist's office fare. somewhere between european cafe and trendy teenage girl clothing store, but a little too soulful to lie exactly on the line that connects them. lightly funked-up beats, restrained electric keyboards, softly bright horns, some wah, one good vocalist, one annoying vocalist, and at least one nice set of steel drums. but 3 songs bite. 3 out of 11 is sort of a lot, but when you consider that some damn good albums only have about 8 songs on them, i suppose 3 isn't too large a number of screw-ups."
