The tracks are perfect for easy listening or great in the car stereo while driving along the motorway.

For all their diversity, the pieces present a unified, integral front stricken with lyricism and showing master’s supple touch be it in the faux big band jive of “Slink” or an Oriental shimmer of “Afternoon In Kyoto”. Mo’s accompanied by the equally virtuoso friends who know how to shape their flight to his vision, so Ray Russell chooses to be cosmic on the fusion of “Alone In New York City” and twangy on “Steam Driven”, while Tony Hymas sprinkles the pavement with golden piano in “Goodbye Old Friend”.

Still, it when the bass take a solo that the drift becomes most impressive like in the blues of “Jerry’s Monet Bridge”, the tango of “All Night Stake Out” or the cinematic “Staring Into The Abyss” where the depth is fathomed with low-end sonics. And then there’s that rumble in “Good Cop, Bad Cop” and a shade of “Gimme Some Lovin’” urgency in the funky “Stomp”, whereas humor slips into the breezy “South Coast Samba”. Background music doesn’t come more clever and enjoyable than this. ****/5
