Sparkling electric piano and urban vibes, a masterpiece that marks the origin of smooth jazzA representative album from the fusion to smooth jazz period, featuring an urban and sophisticated sound centered around electric piano. This album represents the mature form of jazz fusion that Joe Sample presented in the early '80s, combining urban sophistication with a soft groove. The title track, with its impressive mellow soundscape woven with synths and electric piano, is a song that symbolizes the crossover jazz of the era. The tension and aesthetic sense that permeate the relaxed mood anticipated the direction of later smooth jazz, making this an important album that allows you to fully appreciate the musical versatility of Joe Sample. |
