The songs on this CD are pretty good smooth jazz tracks, but as with all smooth jazz, they can sometimes be a bit formulaic and predictable. A nice collection, especially for a warm day at he beach, a walk in the park, or a drive on a summer's day.A few that stand out:Viaduct (Four 80 east)-Nice Acid-jazz-meets-chill type song. Good keyboards, sax, and a groovy rhythm.Bad Bad Simba (Paprika Soul)- A funky exploration into 70's Chicago meets 70's Tower of Power. Nice retro style baroque-instrumental vibe.Other standout tracks include one by Jeff Lorber. His keyboard work is amazing as always.
