★★★★☆ = Quality release and suggested listening

Sounds like?
I’ll call this adult contemporary jazz. Modern melodic playing, at times building with rock-like structures

Moods
Pensive autumn walk

Thoughts
A lot to like here: top notch songwriting that builds effectively, each piece works as a standalone single.
Playing is great. Not usually a fan of Alto-sax players but I like him here.

Aspects of this border on corny. “New life”, for instance, has this new age scatting that I found distracting.

Overall great playing and writing makes this an album I’ve enjoyed coming back to over the past few years.
