Intriguing Tuneful Funk

mw98144

Stellar acoustic piano - electric guitar - bass - drums quartet playing intricate but catchy compositions. "Forever" is a standout (the excerpt doesn't do it justice). Also recommended are "In the Ballroom" and "American Bandstand." And "Capricious Midnight" and "Love, Love, Love." But every cut offers its rewards to the listener. This group also is known as Sweeter than the Day or, with organ swapped for piano, Zony Mash.

They Say All Music Guide

Working with his band Zony Mash in an acoustic setting, Horvitz creates an album that is rich with flavor. From the introspective grace of “Ben’s Music” to the sly tango of “In the Ballroom,” the disc abounds with warmth and sensitivity. It’s similar to the work of the Lounge Lizards in that it doesn’t go by preconceptions of jazz, but uses the genre as a touchstone, venturing into everything from Eastern European motifs to surf guitar. A terrific album. [Forever is a straight re-issue of Horvitz's 2000 release American Bandstand. It seems Dick Clark objected to the title and forced a change] – Tim Sheridan
