    [Radio Music Society] positions Spalding as an artist looking forward and back, a powerful stance.

    Spalding's charisma, whimsical poetry and enthusiasm for jamming still run through the heavily produced set.

    At just 11 tracks, this record flexes serious range, but what's even more impressive is that it rarely sounds overextended.
