First up, the Kevin Dorsey composition, 'Na-Da Blues' which is a swingin' uptempo
semi-blues progression that features fine interplay between guitar, flute and
Kevin's bass. 'Alita,' the second cut written by Bob Piorun for his wife has a
classic jazz ballad melody and features the warm tenor sax of my favorite, John
Kane. 'Urban Blight' by James Best has a cool and funky feel reminiscent of some
of the black exploitation flicks of the early 70's. 'The Key,' another Kevin
Dorsey tune is a love song with a bittersweet flavor that is quite haunting.
'My Sun is Gone,' is a collaboration between Bob and lyricist Lisa Martino. A
fine melody and realistic set of lyrics are very convincingly delivered by the
fabulous Cookie Coogan. 'Warm Winds' is an infectious bossa nova written by John
Kane (with help from wife Kathy) and Bob Piorun. It's very cool with a lilting
vocal by Julie Howard and the sax solo is classic "Killer Kane." Kevin Dorsey
supplies 'The Nifster,' an uptempo Latin flavored piece with a driving bass and
flute-led melody. The final cut, 'Until I See You Again' ends the set with Bob
and Kevin on acoustic guitar and bass.
