Adam Holzman And Brave New World: Jazz Rocket Science (2005)

The band comes out funky and heavy on the opener "Superhero" and follow it up with the soulful "Life On Mars." The introspective "The Telltale Heart", is an example of some of the band's quieter moments followed by more fusion-funk. The members groove hard and solo with passion. This is grown-up fusion, with the freneticism of its 1970s pre-cursors cooled off and a more sophisticated vocabulary brought to bear.
