The pianist/songwriter brings his gravelly voice and New Orleans DNA to New York, where he unspools a smooth and sophisticated album-length ode to late evenings. Laidback horns lend a big-band feel to the romantic opener "Dance the Night Away with You," which gives way to songs about the "sleazy side of life" (like "Street Side"), the beautiful, balladic "Wild Honey" (written for Van Morrison), and the Latin rhythms and slick guitar of "Snake Eyes."
