Details: Amazon.ca The latest offering from Larry Carlton, Bob James, Nathan East and Harvey Mason will automatically be dismissed by some critics as smooth jazz, but that would be underselling it. While the surface is certainly glossy, this is ingeniously crafted music with deceptive depths: take, for example, the little pocket of bebop chord changes in "Free Range", or the way bassist East and drummer Mason induce a breathy, almost imperceptible ebb and flow in the Methenyish samba "Double Trouble". Besides, in musical terms "smooth" may also mean "skilfully played" and such is the case here. Even Larry Carlton, who has sounded a little uninvolved in recent years, hits the motherlode on the slow, 14-bar blues "Blues Force". The squeamish might want to pass swiftly over the pillow talk of "A Little Fourplay", but it's a minor indiscretion in a record rich in obvious and hidden delights. --Mark Gilbert
