Brubeck describes the title tune – written by South African saxophonist Duke Makasi and reminiscent in mood and melody of ‘Everything Happens To Me’ – as implying “reflection and moving on”, and it acts as the key leitmotif generator for the other nine tracks. So, we get Dave's ‘Autumn In Our Town’ and ‘For Iola’ (written for Darius' mother), as well as the standard ‘More Than You Know’ and the jazz classic ‘Caravan’. The pianist/leader's wryly-titled, ‘I Saw Your Father’ (“dedicated to the many people who tell me they saw Dave ‘years ago’,” Darius explains) adds a sly tagline of ‘Take Five’ to the end of its melody, while ‘The Rainbow’ evokes the magical jazz club in KwaZulu/Natal which acted as a discrimination-free island within apartheid South Africa and where he would sit in with the locals. ‘October’ and ‘In The Spanish Mode’ date from even earlier in his career. The South African vibe, which has helped mould Darius Brubeck's career just as much as his father's musical inheritance, reemerges in Zim Ngqawana's gently majestic ‘Mamazala’ – and can't you hear just how much it means to him in his solo? The album is also a time for reflection within this band which has now been together for 10 years, and they sound marvellously at home and in tune with each other. It's the kind of familiarity which breeds creativity rather than contempt, and chance-taking too.
