Brandon Fields, whose main influence is David Sanborn, has proved many times that he can play creative R&B-influenced jazz. This CD has a few such moments (particularly during a heated "The Face on Mars" and an all-too-brief "You Got It") but Phil Perry's Al Jarreau soundalike pop vocals on "Know How" and "Old San Juan" lower the jazz content of the disappointingly routine (and out-of-print) CD. ~Scott Yanow
