Herein lies some fine jazz from an accomplished acoustic and electric bassist and his gang of three. With the exception of Emotional Storm and Continuo, this music is neither rambunctious nor sedate, generating just enough energy to get the appendages dancing. There is enough variety to keep the music mostly mellow but interesting without losing itself or the listener. Add the periodic touch of oud, a Middle Eastern lute, and the music takes on an exotic edge. -- Mostly
