Mr. Conner
ACY showcases brilliant compositions and arrangements. The album highlights the vast scope of his sound and reminds us it is ever-evolving. There’s a lot of energy here, all of it quite spirited, which may, by chance or purposefully, reflect Hitodama. The force with which the melodies are delivered varies substantially, and that only adds to the interest with which the album engages our thinking, feeling, and spirit. It's vintage, triumphant, and contemplative.
