4 stars Nice little jazz album. It's my first Wyatt's album, but I think I choose wisely, when I've selected this as my first. I didn't know what I could expect, but final result pleased me. Oh and it's jazz for me, good form of jazz (using genre's slow sound with dominance of Wyatt's perfect trumpet work), but not like these fast, strong fusion projects, this is tender music. I'm even afraid to metaphorically touch it, from concern it would fall apart. But this somehow works, maybe it's just because I'm not aware of his previous work.

You'll probably feel big amount of nostalgia, when listening it. Maybe it's composition of songs, or melody, its part for sure plays vocal work (not really singer as many others, unique, different).

4(-), for something I can't understand in its entirety, as I'm not as good as reading lyrics and understanding its story. Because there is some kind of story, after all, it's Opera, isn't it ? And I don't feel so much of strong will here. Nice album, but it lacks some important things. Or is just harder to get into.
