The cuts are polite and jazzual downbeat affairs, typically a sax solo or the sort over drum programming (Blue Smoke, Carroussel, Cocktail). The highlights: Canadian producer Gavin Froome pays a smoky, downtempo visit on "Closer to Leaving," while Mo Horizons drop a spirited Afrobeat standing above everything else here.
