专辑简介

"Gold Standard" combines many Influences. Each track finds another model. Fowler alludes to a hybrid Chicago Transit Authority\Santana in "Come Alive for Me." Others point to different places: his McCartney-like take on the title track "Gold Standard," a Donald Fagan homage in "Chiaroscuro," the sound of a Jobim/Getz collaboration in "Meditation;" or the Vince Guaraldii vibe in "Phi in the Sky." The tracks flow to form a fuller facade.
