Editor's review

If the Chris Geith Group plays much longer, we're going to have to start coming up with new analogies for smooth: silk is sandpaper compared to the sound of this New York ensemble. But Geith's music is hardly sedate. The group plays with an upbeat intensity rarely found on this end of the smooth jazz/fusion spectrum.
