On Broadway brings the magic of a single night, undoctored and therefore unfettered, to disc. Still, Clear Horizon is a collector's must-have, for the four new tracks, all of which are excellent. Yet there's winter in her heart. The group Matt Bianco is best known as Basia's original band, and rightly so. Without her vocals, the music would be quite bland.
Instrumentation relies heavily on synthesizers, with solo instruments taking over occasionally.
Throughout the album there is a nice underlying jazzy feel, but the synth-based sound is too much a product of its time. And that basic sound changes little. Peter White's jazz inclinations go back to his days as Al Stewart 's guitarist. White took these inclinations one step further in Basia's band, and subsequently began a solo career exclusively within the jazz idiom. Caravan is an excellent introduction to White's world of smooth, acoustic guitar music.
