For his second OA2 release, saxophonist Lynn Baker looked to Weather Report, Joe Cocker, Steve Coleman, McCoy Tyner, and even the O'Jays for inspiration, creating a variety of contemporary compositions and grooves to explore with his electric/acoustic group. Pianist-keyboardist Eric Gunnison, bassist Bijoux Barbosa, drummer Paul Mullikin, and Baker have been musical teammates for years, making any conceptual path they decide to explore seem like a very fine idea. •"...a captivating sense of sophistication...high expectations are not disappointed; connect with the message, the content will be appeased." - All About Jazz
