Performance: 4

O’s Notes: Get ready for fierce beats, cool rhythms, and some spoken word, make that rap. Guest vocalist Gregory Cone sings on the opening title track. We also liked “Return of the Mack” featuring Douglas on vibes with hip hop artists Amen Kush, Fiyaman and percussionist Jorge Pineda. We also liked their take of “Outstanding” and “Me and My Chiba” featuring Ram Dog. Oh, wait a minute, there’s a jazz ballad: “They Call Her Zadie Mae” featuring Clifford Lamb (p) and Douglas on trumpet and the mellow finale, “All I Am”.
