Sophistication is …

My original idea was to have 12 sophisticated jazzy/bluesy tracks similar to Gary Burton’s and Pat Methany’s track here… but all these songs starting jumping out at me shouting “Pick me, pick me pick me”.

So I did, and I found that actually these songs were quite sophisticated, in a kinda lumpy gravy sort of way… what am I on about? Shut up Dog and press play.
