Mike "Naz" Nazarenko deserves special recognition for his fine harp playing, especially when he gets out the chromatic. Not many play it this well. There is a nice balance among the instruments throughout this album. New has some very tasty lyrics as well; here's an excerpt from "More Than That":
More than a jockey can ride
More than a woman wants a ring
More than the river's wide
More than BB is King ...
"Maurice's Mood" wraps up the CD with a heavy dose of smoky, instrumental lounge jazz. Guest musician Skip Pearson's tenor sax and Elliott's guitar take the lead together on this tune that defies you not to snap your fingers.
