专辑介绍
by Matt Collar
Keyboardist Jonathan Cain's first album for the AAO label, Bare Bones, is a mellow and catchy smooth jazz release. Although the album does feature a nice instrumental version of Cain's 1981 Journey hit "Who's Crying Now," it easily stands on its own apart from his past glories. Cain has a knack for funky, R&B-infused tracks that call to mind such artists as Sade and Bob James. Adding some nice improvisational color is alto saxophonist Mark Russo, who delves into his cuts with a laid-back energy that fits nicely with many of Cain's hip-hop-influenced productions. Also included is the stellar soft rock composition "Sometimes She Breaks" featuring Cain on vocals. This harkens back to his best AOR-style tunes and would have been a hit were it to have been released in the '80s. It stands out here -- in a good way -- as it is the only non-jazz piece and backs up the notion that a full album of melodic, singer/songwriter-style pop would be a welcome choice for Cain in the future. Until then, fans of smooth jazz should find much to enjoy on Bare Bones.
