This debut from British pianist, arranger and jazz eccentric Greg Foat starts out brilliantly strange and tranquil, with the harpischord-driven Time Piece 1, and then it gets head-nodding and smooth on the title track.

But this jazz album has some harder moments, like the frenetic and squawky Yeah You Are, that could drive your friends and loved ones from the lounge.

But while some of it's challenging and downright wild, it's an inspired and deft collection
of modern day jazz.

Stars: 4/5
