A leader album released in 1982 by Dutch trumpeter/flugelhorn player Ack Van Rooyen, who co-founded Mood Records with Volker Kriegel, Wolfgang Dauner, Albert Mangelsdorff, and others. This album features wonderful mellow slow jazz on A4, with horn ensemble, guitar, and piano intertwining like warm sunlight, and an irresistibly pleasant title track B3 with a reverberating sense of floating. From crossover to modal, the urban and smooth approach is superb throughout. The delicate sound quality is also unique to Mood Records. Highly recommended.
