I love music that serves as a melting pot. This clearly does that. It has elements of jazz, psychedelia, musical theater, progressive rock and much more blended into a powerful mélange of sound. Personally, I can’t see it landing anywhere but progressive rock. Certainly it’s progressive music, but it’s not the prog of the 70s, although some times it touches on that. Whatever you call it, though, it’s a great album.

There is a lot of jazz in the rocking opener. It drops from there to sort of a jazz torch song sound. The sultry vocals are great. The cut builds out gradually from there in fine fashion. As it shifts to more rocking territory, there is musical theater, jazz and progressive rock in the mix. It works out to more of a full jazz treatment later in the tune as mellower sounds take it for the rest of the time.
