Fans of Lee Ritenour and Pat Metheny might find a new friend in Hungarian Cornelio Tutu whose new album Keep Playing shows the guitarist in fine form. As is often the case within smoothjazz the overall sound is too fluffy for comfort and the rhythm section does a lackluster job at best, but even so Tutu manages to shine rather frequently despite those pretty big stumbling blocks. Choice cuts are the upbeat Unlimited, the clever hooks of Let's Go Dancing and Robin Is Here which shares common traits with Lee Ritenour anno the mid GRP days. Poor backup from the band and so so production makes for an album that becomes too anonymous at times, but Cornelio Tutu himself is well worth checking out for those into the west coast side of things.
