I picked this album up a few years ago on a Blu-spec CD from Japan. I think it was less than $10 at the time from CD Japan. It now seems to be out of print on physical media.

Just before I got this one, I'd become enamored of their earlier effort for CTi, TIME AND LOVE, so being curious, I picked this one up too. It's "out there" as I put somewhere else on these pages, particularly the title track. Still through it all, Jackie Cain's vocals are really good.

Best track for me is the second one, "Niki's Song", credited as written by Jackie Cain. Three other tracks (of the five total) were penned by Roy Kral and tend to be the "out there" jazzier titles.
