The Florida-based trio of Billy Sokol on fretless piccolo bass, Glenn Trojnar on drums, percussion and harmonica, and Watts Shimura on 5 String electric bass provide a competent jazz release that, while not taking many chances, provides a reliable and melodic set of original numbers. Taking its cues from 60s and 70s Americana melodies such as Burt Bacharach or Henry Mancini might have produced, the pieces provide strong and accessible themes. The pieces are all instrumental, a flowing and relaxed set of pieces ably played and executed.

Sokol's bass is the most prominent instrument, as might be expected since he is the composer and arranger of the seven pieces provided. The sound draws to mind Bill Frisell's guitar work, but in a generally deeper tone. The Frisell analogy is furthered by the country twang that infects many of the melodies, both in style and in the prominent use of harmonica throughout the release. The picollo bass' melodicism is surprising, and it seems a slight misnomer to even call the instrument a bass. Sokol explains that his initial approach to the fretless bass brought him to the picollo bass sound after realizing that he was playing primarily above the 12th fret, after which he began experimenting with picollo bass strings. The result is generally clean, occassionally varied by a sustained overdrive effect, but richly melodic and flowing.
