Sweet grooving from
Lani Hall – a record that's a long way from her roots in Brasil 66, but which has some surprisingly nice touches at times!
Herb Alpert produced – and handled arrangements along
with Lani and Michel Colombier – and it may well be Colombier's highly rhythmic approach to larger backings that makes the best parts of the album so nice – because some unexpected moments bounce along
with a very slight funky undercurrent, offsetting
Lani's sometimes overdone vocals
with leaner modes that push things past the clutter. Titles include a nicely grooving version of "Send In The Clowns", plus "Early Mornin Strangers", "Mr Blue", "Too Many Mornings", "Sweet Bird", "Dolphins Lullaby", and "At The Ballet".
