This is this quartet's second album for High Note and the band synergy is clear – it rolls along through different moods like a limo through a changing landscape. Roland Hanna's light-stepping title-track is given what Malone calls a ‘Poinciana’ beat which increases its grace of movement. The tone set by this opener is then somewhat spoilt on the funky ‘Leave It To Lonnie’ and by Malone's determination to milk the repeated rhythmic chord of the head in a solo that goes nowhere slowly. Another original, ‘The Ballad Of Hank Crawford’, suffers from a similar reliance, this time on both repeated notes and chords which break up the R&B lope like a kind of musical Tourette's. Thereafter, through the ballad ‘There'll Be Another Song’, Malone's own ‘Pocket Watch’, Jose Feliciano's ‘Theme from “Chico and the Man”’ and an eloquently direct solo guitar reading of Billy Joel's ‘And So It Goes’, things improve no end. The edgy, urban streets are left behind and the limo can stretch. Bobby Hutcherson's ‘Little B's Poem’ and Malone's ‘Flowers For Emmett Till’ round things off, the former briefly channelling Metheny, the latter returning Malone and his band to their real strength: the lithe, romantic ballad.
