O’s Notes: This is an interesting groove from the opener “Street Smart”, with it’s funky hip hop beats and scratching. It moves quickly to a cool feel with “Just One Thing” and then the title track. Bob wrote all of the tunes and it is a solid effort with catchy riffs and fresh feelings on each track. The lone vocal features his daughter, Hilary and he’s joined by Dave Koz, Chuck Loeb and Keiko Matsui as well on this commanding performance.
