Another jazz/rock album and a great one. It starts with Another Way
Around, some overdrive solo-ing by Mike. Loose Ends
follows, a jazzy piece. A slower song emerges in To Let You
Know. Then my favourite: Jigsaw. This has a great rythm,
great stuff with sax and the guitar and a great solo. Chief
features the great Michael Brecker on EWI. In Rhyme Or
Reason Mike shows his ability on the acoustic guitar, a nice
ballad. The album closes with Kwirk, which is another uptempo
jazzy piece.
