It's really all over the place.  One thing worth noting is that there are
actual real, live, jazz players on this record -- Francisco Mora
and Rodney Whittaker, amongst others.

That said, it's not a jazz album.  It's a Planet E album, one
that's going to take a little more evaluation than the
usual suckz/roolz quickie review.  There's a lot of
*content* on this CD.

         -d.w.
