Weitz writes moving narratives with his saxophone, varying the traits of each track and keeping the album progressing to another level with each arrangement.

If you are a fan of punk rock, then you more than likely have a copy of this album somewhere, so this might not be an essential purchase, you’d think. I think that the clarity on this album and the immediacy of the music despite the four decades since its recording makes it essential.

For those who wore out their versions on record, cassette, or even 8-track, the 40th Anniversary edition makes for a great replacement.

An integration of blue-eyed soul, modern bop, and vintage swing, vocalist Ron Boustead is adept at presenting a repertoire that merges Frank Sinatra with Michael McDonald.

Dino Jag’s Australian summer spirit, filled with hope and energy, brightens even the darkest moments.

'Automaton' gives voice to the fact that Jamiroquai was, and still is, a prominent fixture in classic and contemporary dance and funk music.

'Turbo' has its flaws but it should still be appreciated as the distinct, experimental nugget full of party rockers that it is. The real gem of this three-CD edition, however, is the 20-track live show from May 22, 1986 that makes up the latter two discs.

The soloists shone both separately and in concert, as if distilling the work of the huge chorus behind them. I didn't want the penultimate piece, "O Sleep," sung by the chorus and then the soloists in counterpoint, to end.

Take up Zito's battle cry, "Make Blues Not War," and enjoy this incredible record, which I believe is his best yet!

Andrea Claburn's voice is charismatic, rooted in jazz tradition and melodic sensibilities with a contemporary bent.
