Leader Chris Saunders plays a warm cornet/flugelhorn and sings with a Bill Henderson tone on this relaxing soul session with Luis Carbo/perc, Michael Aragon/dr, Ken Cook/p-org and Rob Fordyce/b. The mood is like relaxed New Orleans sunset, with Saunders giving an avuncular read to Percy Mayfield’s “River’s Invitation” and floating over Aragon’s brushes on “I Wonder”. Cook adds rich strides to the Tipitina-ish “Life Is A Sgtruggle” and the fun “Butterflies and Chicken Wings” while creating a romantic setting for Saunders to croon on the title tune. A mint julip of music.
