Although it would have been awesome if Brian did the jazz arrangements, I'd still love to see him do some jazz arrangements. Highlights: I enjoyed the Clarks Burroughs Group's versions the best. Especially their "Cabinessence" and "Surf's Up" Don Grusin's piano Surfer Girl is one of my favorites, I wish it was longer.The Elements' Till I Die is great, and the instrumental "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" is my favorite version of that song I believe.
Although good, it could have been so much better. I give it a 3.
