A masterpiece of jazz funk with a sophisticated groove.
The crossroads of AOR and fusion. A fast-paced sound that colors the city nights.
Keyboardist Neil Larsen's "High Gear" is a stylish work that combines jazz funk with the sophistication of AOR. The album is impressive for its sophisticated melodies and the sharpness of the rhythm section, and although it is mainly instrumental, it somehow feels "singing." This is a hidden masterpiece that gives you the same exhilaration as driving down a night highway in a car.
