Nu jazz is having somewhat of a strong year this year and I am all for it. This new album from the quartet feels a lot like a GoGo Penguin record with more of a focus on horns rather than on strings, which is nice because they both have a great sense of flair and style in their music. Overall, the record has a nice pace to it with some standout tracks that keep you coming back, but there is still a bit missing here that I wish I heard. It just feels a little too similar across the board and when the album is over it does kind of leave my mind.
