Drummer, keyboardist and composer Shawn Glyde hits the fusion button on this album that includes all stars John Patitucci-Jimmy Haslip/b, Larry Koonse/g and Jason Galuten among the sessionmeisters here. Some hot and intricate piano work is displayed on the plugged in “Jacket Sttement” with some hard hitting high hat driving “Sticks Out”. Weather Reportish echoes and atmospheres float on “Tony’s Temple” and the upbeat synthy “Future Artist” with middle east mysticism floats with voices on “The Odd Temple”. Hot horns swing on “Blur” and Glyde lets his keyboard glide on a soulfest on “Nine Steps”. Classy and exuberant.
