picked this one up last year as one of those "3 for $10" discount bin purchases...
got this one because i'd not heard of Fitz....
now, when I buy those discount ones I don't know, I always try to pick a genre for the album
from the cover art and the band name and if im stuck there I look at the tack names...
in this case I was guessing jazz...
I was pretty close,
lots of jazzy, funk ladenned soul in a nice fusion of the styles...
lovely tunes and melodies and not a guitar in sight just keys, percussion, drums, flute, sax and bass (and vocals!)
nothing bad on this one, just a reasonably good album
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: L.O.V
