This is a mature album by LA4, a renowned quartet that represents West Coast jazz.
This album, which brilliantly blends the sophistication and relaxed atmosphere of West Coast jazz, will appeal not only to jazz fans but also to crossover and easy listening listeners.
The repertoire is diverse, ranging from standards and bossa nova to film music, including the title track "Watch What Happens." The album's appeal lies particularly in its portrayal of the flowing melodies characteristic of Michel Legrand's work, expressed through light and intimate interplay. Almeida's soft nylon-string guitar and Shank's refined saxophone/flute create a sound that even evokes a chamber music-like elegance.
