Title: ****AVERAGE ****
Product review: I am a huge fan of Lee since 1979 and have bought every album since then. contrary to what you read above this album is a disappointment for me. Lee is into 'african' at the moment so lots of tribal beats in background if you're into that. There's a great line-up of musicians but unfortunately even they cant do much with the music. The african girl sings Lovely Day - pretty good - makes it her own song. Lee's son plays drums but can't hear any drumming(!) - maybe on the final master they cut out his track? and supposedly co-writes one song. Dave Grusin and Lee plays in Lovely Days with some glimses of Harlequin album - well almost. Patrice Rushen background sings her song Forget me nots - but unfortunately not memorable unlike her original hit in the 80's. Overall nothing memorable and no tunes you can hum along. For this listener, I'll go back to listening to the truly great music from the earlier albums.
