(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have to give this album five stars because of the inflated rating system on this site. It is indeed a terrific album of unusual yet somehow digestible music. Unless you prefer sentimental drivel such as Julio Iglesias or Celine Dion. Here we have Jazz/samba/hip hop/spoken word/unknown thing fusion. One of those discs you put on and leave on for a long time. As perfect as the original Getz/Byrd "Jazz Samba"? Of course not. That would be a ten star album minus three for brevity. But as good a purchase as you are likely to make this year, unless of course you finally get around to picking up Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue". Man, you backward. And for everyone who forgot, buy Coltrane. Soultrane will knock you out, whoever you are."
