4 out of 5 stars Chill with a splash of Smooth!!.......2005-07-06

Mike Di Lorenzo has had his work showcased on the radio program, "Chill with Chris Botti". His style is a mix between Herbie Hancock, Alex Bugnon and David Benoit. The CD is very much "Chill", Downtempo, Latin and the Rick Braun inspired trumpet on some his tracks makes it a very good listen. The comparison is clear on the tracks "Loosey Goose" & "Severance", which displays his diverse keyboard talents. My personal favorite tracks were the title track and "West 47th". Di Lorenzo's CD is very smooth and hip. It's a hidden gem that listeners will not be disappointed with.
