Keyboardist Ted Brancato brings to the field a mix of acoustic and electric musicians including Ron Carter/b as well as a reed and brass section for this collection of material that goes from funk to cheery acoustic. Easy and bluesy jazz comes out on pieces such as "Kinshasa" and "I Don't Want to Fall" while the funk factor is spotlighted on the percussive "Karate Kid" and "It's The Little Things." What used to be called "Adult Contemporary Jazz" before it smoothed out is evident on the fun and fun loving "Another Chance" and the soulful "The Next Step." Lots of invigorating sounds here.
