Spike Robinson's sessions are usually pleasant, casually swinging, and musically proficient, and this quartet outing isn't any different.
Robinson explores ballads, mid-tempo standards, and originals with a steady, big tone and full sound. He doesn't try anything too intricate, sticking close to the melody and then adding some embellishments and slight alterations. The backing group featuring Ted Beament,
Peter Ind, and
Bill Eyden follow the same formula. ~ Ron Wynn
