This <i>Jazz\/Fusion<\/i> release is a breath of fresh air in todays world of smooth jazz wannabe&#8217;s. <i>Prowl<\/i> kicks it off in classic <b>Crusaders<\/b> style.  <i>Tripod<\/i> is a mellow guitar-centric tune that brings <b>Pat Martino<\/b> to mind. <i>Double Standards<\/i> and <i>Bar Codes<\/i> lean toward the <b>Pat Metheny Camp<\/b>, very acoustic with a lot of strumming.<\/p>\n<p><i>Change of Plans<\/i> slows it down and stretches out just a bit with some sweet Sax riffs and a nice guitar chord happening throughout, although it&#8217;s a bit on the airy side. <i>Recon<\/i> pull back a little with some very staccato horns and choppy guitar accompaniment, giving it an almost samba\/march-like quality in places. <i>Perspective<\/i> again features strong guitar lines, leaning into the smooth jazz arena a little bit. <b>Habit<\/b>, the last and longest of the tracks infuses some elements of the rock world, almost like a <b>Steely Dan<\/b> tune. This CD is a refreshing change of pace and a sure bet for your collection.      \t          <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SynergyBarcodes(VN Media &#8211; 2001) by Raymond Redmond The Synergy Quartet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3256\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
