Refreshing and urbane, this is Dan Siegel's masterpiece that encapsulates the comfort of 80s fusion.
With flowing piano as its core, this album captures the atmosphere of the era moving from fusion to smooth jazz in the form of a clear and easy-to-listen-to instrumental.
From the first note, you can sense a relaxed, refreshing feeling. Dan Siegel's piano doesn't flaunt his technique, instead focusing on carrying the melody comfortably. The rhythm section is tight but not overly assertive, driving the entire song forward with ease. Tracks like "Joy Ride" and "City Lights" exude a sense of openness reminiscent of '80s LA, bringing to mind images of train windows and nightscapes. The album prioritizes sonic balance over flashiness, capturing the process by which fusion music evolved into music to listen to. Easily suited to both work and relaxation, this is the perfect album for an introduction to '80s fusion.
