I think the album has a wonderful blend of staple jazz variations. There is nice variety here, but it's all familiar, even for the unexperienced jazz fan. Dan's drumming on Hoagie is particularly exceptional.
A lot of these songs have a bright start followed by a tumultuous middle and an ascendant climax. While it's great music in its own right, it's even more amazing in the context of the game it was made for. I think this album is quite inspirational!
