The Brooklyn, New York-based guitarist's fourth album is a new venture with his old rhythm section. Ronnie Plaxico (Bass), who has performed with Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, Cassandra Wilson, and many others, Duane Cook Broadnax (Drums), who has been active in the New York scene for many years, including in legendary singer Jimmy Cotto's house band, Lafayette Harris Jr. Drums), and Lafayette Harris Jr. (Piano), a familiar face in the Houston Parson Band. The eight tracks are a mix of four songs written by great American songwriters and four originals, all based on a straight-ahead style, with Nakai's strong and supple fat tone at the center of a wide groove.
