Mid-Year I said this was the Best Album of the Year, "In the Key of the Universe" by Joey DeFrancesco. Since then it was the City Girls, Tool and Lana Del Ray, but Joey D. had the best recording.
It is a "love-kiss" of the past, with a face-forward vibe...and the future looks good. A blend of the Trippy/Psychedelic/Metaphysical Jazz that will make you beg for more.
