A surprisingly mellow version of Men At Work's 'Down Under' opens this
latest project from Atlanta based session man Moore. It's an colourful
album that takes a tour around some of his influences, for instance the
opening track is followed by a jazz arrangement of 'Ghost Town' by The
Specials and the songs of Tony Williams, Phish and The Fixx are also to
be found. His own compositions are a cocktail of funk, jazz and soul shaken
and stirred by a multitude of musicians. 'Jamband Express' has a solid
blues/funk feel with an irresistible groove and his tribute to Herbie
hancock, 'Herbie' is a showcase for some outstanding soloing, Adam Nitti
pops up on this track as an added bonus. Moore was recently named as one
of the 100 greatest jazz bassist by Digital Dream Door and this album
is the lastest testament to that achievement.
