about

Since the release of his stunning worldbeat-meets-funk debut in 1994, fusion-schooled saxman Mark Johnson developed a neatly symbiotic relationship with veteran duo Special EFX. Both on tour and disc, Johnson's creative horn leaps all but transformed George Jinda and Chieli Minucci's cool pop-jazz flavors into an urban locomotive. And with Jinda's free-spirited, percussive co-production once again leading the way, Johnson's sophomore effort Daydream is just as playful, intense, and heartfelt as his first. Johnson's at his best on tunes where he can blow wild yet melodically over thick bass-drum combinations, but saves his most artistic voyages for EFX-like pieces à la "Island Lullaby" (which smacks of Andy Narell and offers exotic chant schemes) and "Dim the Lights." Jonathan Widran
