SITE_REVIEW
Since the release of his stunning world beat-meets-funk debut in 1994 last year, fusion-schooled saxman
Mark Johnson
developed a neatly symbiotic relationship with veteran duo
Special EFX
. Both on tour and disc,
Johnson
's creative horn leaps all but transformed
George Jinda
and
Chieli Minucci
's cool pop-jazz flavors into an urban locomotive. And with Jinda's free-spirited, percussive co-production once again leading the way,
Johnson
's sophomore effort
Daydream
is just as playful, intense and heartfelt as his first.
Johnson
's at his best on tunes where he can blow wild yet melodically over thick bass-drum combinations, but saves his most artistic voyages for EFX-like pieces a la "Island Lullaby" (which smacks of
Andy Narell
and offers exotic chant schemes) and "Dim The Lights." If anything,
Johnson
and Jinda have learned to hone their synergy into a slicker, more commercial package, which makes the flow super palatable in spots, slightly generic in others. The
Prince
and Temptations covers are cool if a little too much by the book, but in terms of oversmoothing the package, the real culprit is the reliance on those
Najee
-like backing vocals. Sure, they're easy listening, but we've heard those sounds before and they don't really add anything to Jinda and
Johnson
's remarkable instrumental duotones. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide
