I noticed this too at the radio station I work for. I think it was
called "a Very Still Life".
I gave a song or 2 a listen because of the acid jazz mention and think a
better label would be smooth jazz.
It was Dr. Jack with a quintet (?) whose name was mildly familar but
obviously not very memorable (begins with M?). I was hoping for some
spoken word or something but the short bits I listened to had no sort of
vocals at all. Wonder what Kevorkian actually *does* on the album?
play sax? pose for the cover?
