Guitarist Steve Khan sounds quite laid-back throughout this set, even when soloing at his most passionate.
He is featured in a wide variety of material and fares quite well in each setting.
With bassist John Patitucci sometimes taking solo honors, Khan explores a Latinized version of "I Mean You" and an obscure Ornette Coleman tune ("Mr.
and Mrs.
People"), has features for flügelhornist Randy Brecker ("Face Value") and bass clarinetist Bob Mintzer (the Bitches Brew-inspired "El Faquir"), and modernizes one of his father's songs ("You're My Girl").
Also on Borrowed Time are two McCoy Tyner compositions, a salsa version of "Have You Met Miss Jones?," and a vocal by Gabriela Anders on "Luna y Arena." Overall, this is a worthy effort.
This CD was nominated in 2007 for a Grammy award as Best Latin Jazz Album.
