Jazz fusion with urban sophistication and a smooth groove.
This album was produced by Grover Washington Jr. It is a sophisticated piece that stands out for its clear melodies, which could be considered the prototype of smooth jazz, and the meticulous structure of the rhythm section.
This album features an urban soundscape, with lustrous keyboards and soft basslines. James Lloyd's piano plays a central role in the melody, creating a light, flowing groove on tracks like "Fo-Fi-Fo" and "Imagine This." Grover Washington Jr.'s skill refines the sound, creating a flexible texture somewhere between jazz and pop. This highly polished album is considered a pioneer of smooth jazz.
