This is a superior quality ‘Pop’ album, I call it superior Pop because the music is played by excellent musicians, many of whom would be capable of making a superb jazz album. There is unfortunately little for the jazz fan here however, even the four instrumental tracks are largely sanitised to make them acceptable to a pop audience.

Even the playing of Roy Ayers can make little impact and on Urban jungle he is hardly heard at all!

The nearest to a real jazz track is Get Up on It, which features Rene McLean & Chris Albert, but even that doesn’t swing a lot because of the over busy and repetitive backing.
