This review is from: World's Getting Loud (Audio CD)

This is relaxation music without the heavy melancholy. DeGrassi's acoustic mastery is complemented by lots of varied percussion, keyboards and even "body music." Most of the selections have a distinctively Latin flavor, although it is not overwhelmingly so. The music has the charachteristics of sailing on a sunny afternoon - it moves briskly, but at nature's pace. He also explores the blues with "Doorman's Blues," picked out in a Piedmont style.

The CD will make a nice addition to your music collection and is a good representation of DeGrassi's mid-career talent. It will go great with cocktails or just conversation.
