Here Doldinger is doing that 1980s jazz thing. Fortunately, he´s too talented and tasteful to put out anything totally bland, and indeed several of the cuts are quite satisfying. The one vocal piece, "It´s Magic," verges on insipid, however, and overall there is a restraint to the soloing and sound textures. (I don´t know why masters of instrumental jazz are often tempted to cross over into vocal territory. With the exception of George Benson, does this ever sell more records?)
