Although the end result is a little monotonous - many of the tracks are quiet and slowly swinging, blending together into one long track - it's charmingly laid-back, mellow and melodic, all of the things that brought fame and fortune in the '70s. There isn't a whole lot in the way of 'real' jazz here - the solos are extensions of the themes, and they never stand apart from the lite groove - but this has the 'feeling' that fans have been waiting to feel again.
