Working with his band in an acoustic setting, creates an album that is rich with flavor. From the introspective grace of "Ben's Music" to the sly tango of "In the Ballroom," the disc abounds with warmth and sensitivity. It's similar to the work of in that it doesn't go by preconceptions of jazz, but uses the genre as a touchstone, venturing into everything from Eastern European motifs to surf guitar. A terrific album. [ is a straight reissue of 's 2000 release . It seems objected to the title and forced a change.] ~ Tim Sheridan
