An intriguing blend of traditional and progressive music
author: Don Perkins
This CD has been calling to me since I first got it. Truly distinct melodies and unique grooves are in abundance. Drummer Comess drives the whole thing with a sense of ease. Great music to listen to, dance to, or populate the planet to. My favorite: Dancing Bear!

Last track, Bounce this Puppy, brings one back to firm ground with its light-hearted, night-on-town appeal, thus tapping into the buoyancy that keeps the great city of New York afloat.
