Night Cruise

The quartet of Wa Yo Set strikes an intriguing balance between acoustic guitar, tenor saxophone, bass, and drums—a configuration that yields both rhythmic funk and organic warmth. The interplay between the guitar's mellowness and the saxophone's edgier, more expressive voice creates compelling textural contrast, anchored by tight rhythm section work. Influences drift between  jazz-funk grooves and bossa nova sensibilities, with production choices ranging from close-miked intimacy to amplified presence. While predominantly instrumental, select tracks incorporate vocals, rounding out a set that includes "Channel 2," "Don't Let Me Down," "Just Begun," "Switch," "R308," and "Mo Money Mo Problems."
