...entrees exemplify the restaurant’s African-western fusion. The grilled sea bass, a traditionally western dish, was presented atop a bath of tahini. The fish was merely decent upon the first bite, with a distinctly smoky taste. When swirled into the lemon-sesame sauce, however, the combination of flavors added vigor to the dish. The accompaniments of stewed green beans and grilled cubes of red potatoes rounded out the entrée.

Over the course of a week, I could not help but warm to the album—it has now become a staple in my CD changer—even if I remain cold to Benson’s performance personality. Benson hardly ever...
