The recording's title is a lot like the music: a little left-of-center, maybe a bit spaced, oddly promising. If the idea of some head-nodding acid-jazz

colored with splashes of smooth-jazz sensuality and easy-going pop sounds appealing, find a place in the relaxed, informal conga line being

led by Phoenix-based saxophonist Cliff Sarde and shuffle along. A modest but mostly enjoyable affair, Smoke 'n Function is a one-man,

all-instrumental production (primarily keyboards, MIDI loops, sax, samples) that politely ruffles its easy-listening ambiance with subtle grooves

and brief incantations from Zuni, Navajo, and Tibetan voices. You can catch traces of influences from 3rd Force (the clipped beats of

"Smokee") to Fleetwood Mac (the laconic, romantic "Mikaela's Song") throughout the disc, and while tempos shift from track to track ( say,

from the quick-paced piping on "Native Groove" into the sultry pulse of "Seven-Thirty" ), somehow the mood remains attractively unified.

Above-average background music. ~ Terry Wood

Check this out. A bunch of cool songs that run the gamut from cool jazzy-fresh all the way to mystical echoes of Native America. I've had it on

my CD for about two weeks straight now and can't seem to find the motivation to take it off. A lot of sound here - the songs continue to surprise

everytime. Who are these guys....? ~ Benjamin Gordon

I found this CD at a listening station in Barnes and Nobles and was thrilled when I played the different tracks - all songs are unique, cool, and

relazing. Wow! This is difinitely different from anything I've ever heard! Can't wait for many more CDs from this group! ~ Nancy E Carlson
