Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bridging the gap between his early straight-ahead jazz work and his impending massive pop success, the acclaimed guitarist delivers a slick, highly arranged set of instrumental funk. Bolstered by lush orchestrations and a tight rhythm section, the record is a masterclass in clean, deeply melodic groove playing.
