David Sanborn's distinctive alto is all over this set, caressing the melodies and playing short soulful solos in typical fashion. Joined by an electronic quartet that features prominent work by
Ricky Peterson on keyboards (including bass and drum programming), plus a horn section,
Sanborn gives humanity and honest feeling to what could have been an anonymous effort. In addition to the many originals, the influential altoist plays tasteful versions of
Wayne Shorter's "Infant Eyes" and
Eddie Harris' catchy "Listen Here." ~ Scott Yanow
