A more comfortable mix of McFarland's vocalese pop and jazz than the more successful Soft Samba. The In Sound is chock full of brief, enjoyable tunes that stick with you. Guitarist Gabor Szabo is a perfect partner and makes a memorable combination with McFarland's mellifluous vibraphone. ~ Douglas Payne
