Jazz EP: Solid, Lively, Criticized
4 out of 5 stars

This EP could be a smarter pick than the soundtrack album on UK Brunswick, where the tunes are quite sparse. In this release, "The Sage" comes across as a solid piece rather than background music, making it more enjoyable. The lively "Morning After" gained traction as a backdrop for poetry-and-jazz performances, and "Buddy boo" is a club cut that really extends itself. This chamber jazz had its critics back then, with one reviewer labeling it "watered-down filler of little worth.
