A wide swath of soundscapes are created by Buzz Amato playing piano, Rhodes, synths and various programming works with a mix and match team that includes Doug Payne/wwinds, Rick Hinkle-Chris Blackwell/g, Joseph Patrick Moore-Bennie Sims/b, Louis Newsom-Timothy Courts/dr and other guests There’s a spacey feel to fluid pieces like “’Round 12 am” or “Mount Helicon”, the latter featuring some rich tenor sax from Payne, while a dash of soul jazz a la The Crusaders is felt on “Going Home”. Clever guitar and keyboard effects create tension on ”Melpomene” and sensuous textures are as smooth as silk on ”Bossame Mucho”. Best of all are the pair of Stevie Wonderish soul tunes featuring the honey’d voice of Melissa Ellen on “The Dream” and “Angel In My Pocket”. Caressing with the keyboards.
