As with recent projects like 2014's , 2015's , and 2017's , 2018's finds trumpet legend updating his trademark instrumental pop sound with programmed electronics, keyboards, and added instrumentation. Joining him is producer/sound designer , who helped rework a handful of his best-loved hits for a modern, club-oriented audience. However, rather than offering Ibiza-style anthems, they instead deliver pleasantly snappy electronic arrangements that fit into the easy listening tradition helped define throughout the '60s and '70s when most of these songs were originally on the charts. Fittingly, the album kicks off with a bass- and synth-heavy take on 's first big hit, 1966's "The Lonely Bull." We also get a jaunty mash-up of 1965's "Spanish Flea" and 1979's "Rise." Elsewhere, they deliver a reggae-meets-Bond theme-sounding version of 1965's "A Taste of Honey," and apply a woozy dub beat to 1966's "Work Song." Slightly more traditional is 's lush rendition of "Spanish Harlem," which trades some of the original track's mandolin ambiance for cinematic strings. Ultimately, it's nice to hear the trumpeter revisit his legacy with such a warm sense of fun. ~ Matt Collar
