This ABC Impulse! session captures Criss in a remarkably expansive mood, weaving his bright, singing tone through a collection of soul standards and originals with a funk undertow that never compromises his harmonic sophistication. Whether gliding over a groovy arrangement of \"Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing\" or bringing tenderness to \"You Are So Beautiful,\" Criss proves that jazz-funk didn't mean abandoning taste—it meant deepening connection. There's a warmth here, a conversational ease in his playing, as if he's finally found the perfect setting to let his instrument do all the talking. The record breathes with the spirit of its title: not virtuosity for its own sake, but the genuine pleasure of making music that moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;padding:13px 18px;background:#ffffff;color:#121212;cursor:pointer;list-style:none;border:1px solid #121212;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:2px;text-transform:uppercase;font-weight:600;font-family:inherit;user-select:none;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:300;line-height:1;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border:1px solid #121212;border-top:none;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eGenre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eJazz, Funk \/ Soul\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eJazz-Funk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eMedia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eVery Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eSleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eVery Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eCarefully packed and shipped with love from Vienna.
