The sophomore release on Narada's jazz imprint for Tower of Power's former saxman Euge Groove, Just Feels Right is an attempt to return to the music of 1976.
The groove is the key to the whole, with a mix of funk, smooth jazz, and what almost sounds like quiet storm popping in from time to time.
The album was made with a vintage ethic, using almost no gear made after 1976.
The session musicians, as well, are from a different age, taking time to perfect the groove and lay out a nice backing rhythm.
The compositions aren't particularly adventurous, but that's not really their purpose either.
What they are is generally relaxed, simple works.
The string arrangements can go a bit over the top at times, in full Love Unlimited Orchestra-style, but for the most part they hang back with a soft touch on the Hammond and all is well.
A perfect album for a quiet groove in the background of a sunny drive.
