This 2007 release by smooth-jazz keyboardist Jeff Lorber is his first for Blue Note, and it is one of his most eclectic offerings, drawing on a variety of jazz styles. "All Most Blues" is a classic swinging ballad, while "Grandma's Hands" is a funk/blues workout with a soulful vocal. "Super Fusion Unit" and "BC Bop" are what their titles suggest, and over the course of the album he also touches on gospel and Latin. Lorber's butter-smooth keyboards provide the constant, as he veers easily from influence to influence.
