"latin note", a funky latin stomper, reminiscent of nuyorican soul/masters at work is packed full of minor chords, smashing beats and off-the wall dynamics. elsewhere, navarre proves himself a master of suspense and beat-heavy poignancy, "pont des arts" combines a carnival spirit with a monster piano groove, whereas "what you think about" would have made roy ayers circa "everybody loves the sunshine" very happy.tourist is the kind of album that is put on at a fantastic, idyllic beach bar stereo at sunset and then constantly looped, a future classic. .::.......................................................................::.
