...vocal glissandi. In concerts he adds his own million-dollar magic trick: he carries a band in his larynx - or so it seems when Jarreau fills in the melody with vocal imitations of instruments. He can even accompany himself, crooning the words of a sleepy ballad while making rhythmic clicks deep in his throat to provide a percussive counterpoint. Jarreau's vocal antics on this LP are confined to a guitar (Fire and Rain), flute (Glow) and bass (Hold On). But Jarreau is no mere sound effects man. His husky tenor is agile and warmly appealing...

The mood quickens, driven by a jazzy oboe, and the clarinet squabbles with the bassoon. The Western Jutland Chamber Ensemble plays with grace, rhythmic drive and a certain sense of mischief...
