'Autumn Jazz' includes selections from the great composers including Ellington, Mancini, Darin, Mangione, Rodrigo and others. While mostly jazz, a few of the tunes may be considered smooth jazz or pop. Most of the music is quite 'snappy' but a few rock- bluesy tunes are included as well. If you find yourself snapping your fingers and tapping your toes, we have achieved our goal. If you like Herb Alpert and remember Dave Brubeck, you should enjoy this album. As is always the case, the style is unique to Arrival.
