This album of jazz compositions is perfect for a relaxing Sunday afternoon. I chose Cité Soleil as the feature cut because the guitar playing excites the heart and pulls us up to dance in wild and unplanned manners. The ending is especially tasty. Shoutouts include Code Noir and Jean Michel – both featuring some especially fine horn arrangements. Code Noir includes some sweet interplay between the guitar and the horns; Jean Michel has some exciting horn duels. A special shoutout for the beautiful solo piano tune, Charlene. You may pick up this album for some good dinner background tones, but I guarantee your ear will be drifting away from the conversation and toward the players, so you might as well turn it up loud from the get-go.
