This is the 2nd album by the duo of American Fusion musicians, guitarist Robben FordFind albums by this artist and saxophonist Bill EvansFind albums by this artist, recorded with bassist Darryl JonesFind albums by this artist and drummer Keith CarlockFind albums by this artist. Vocalist Max MutzkeFind albums by this artist appears on one track. The album presents nine tracks, five by Ford and four by Evans.
The music is a predictable mixture of Blues, Melodic Fusion and Smooth Jazz, which is very listenable and widely accessible, but lacks any particular artistic values, except of course the very high level of professional performance skills by all the participants. Ford is an exceptionally gifted Blues guitarist and Evans a great Jazz saxophonist, but they are here to enjoy themselves rather than play some serious music.
Overall, this is a highly entertaining album, smoothly performed by all participants, ideal for cocktail parties and long rides in a cabriolet. I confess that when I am particularly gloomy and tired, this kind of music is exactly what the doctor prescribed!
