The super all-star session again! Smooth jazz / fusion music now enriched with the taste of blues and R&B!
The great follow-up to the "Over Crystal Green" - one of the most acclaimed jazz / fusion album of 2002 - recorded with new personnel. The groove of jazz / fusion music is now enriched with the taste of blues and R&B. Will Boulware gives a full play to his keyboard handling on both acoustic and electric instruments, but his talent as an arranger is greatly featured in this album. Each music has its high lights; "Israel" featuring tenor saxophone, "One Finger Snap" featuring guitar, "New and Old" featuring drums solo (by brush!), "Foolish Door" with quartet (piano / synthesizers / bass / drums) and three vocal tracks. As the title speaks, "harmony" is the key to enjoy this album. Harmony of each chord, instruments, sequence, and of course the performers.
