    A complete departure from what Stan Getz usually had done on his records, and not necessarily a good thing. Getz's sound is still distinct, and considering he was undergoing treatment for cancer his playing was still strong. The tunes aren't really that good, though, as Herb Alpert intentionally wanted to put Getz outside of his comfort zone. It's not quite fusion, although it has more of a pop element to it. There's a couple of decent tracks - "Amorous Cat" is my favorite, and the title tune is pretty decent - but overall this album just isn't that strong.
