After making his name with Tower of Power and the Yellowjackets, Scottish-born saxophonist Richard Elliot made the transition to smooth jazz with much success. On this, his 11th album as a leader, Elliot stays true to the sound that has won him so many fans. Snaking his lush and friendly sax between mostly midtempo beats, Elliot dusts his warm tone with just the slightest hints of soul and funk. A vocal track with Siedah Garrett and a guest spot by Rick Braun add to the album's pleasing diversity. --S. Duda
