"Metrocafe" is the third outing from fusion group Metro, and features the same stellar musicianship found on their previous two releases. Guitarist Chuck Loeb (known better for his smooth jazz releases) gets to open up, crank the overdrive on occasion and cut loose here, as he plays terrific, inventive solos on tracks such as the opening urban-vibed title track and the Brazilian-flavored "It's All Good", which also features keyboardist Mitchel Forman dancing nimbly across the piano keys. Veteran bassist Victor Bailey and inventive drummer Wolfgang Haffner round out the quartet on "Metrocafe", whose latest won't offend anyone's ears - as long as they love dynamic fusion!
