With Buzz Feiten on guitar, Michael Brecker on sax, and Ralph MacDonald on percussion, the session radiates musicianship — full of slick changes, deep pocket grooves and just enough fire to keep things moving.

Larsen’s keys lead the charge — smooth but sharp, locking jazz harmonics with funk sensibility. The title track stretches out with cinematic flair, while “Sudden Samba” and “Emerald City” tap into soul-jazz territory with ease.

Perfect for fans of midtempo fusion, library funk, and anyone who wants their jazz a little sweaty but highly refined. One for the heads and crate diggers alike.
