Rocknotes the truthfulness of the pictures painted of artists. They also cover Bob Dylan's "Crawl Out Your Window" in a nice, spare arrangement which does them credit.

When I found it in the record store, I immediately bought it. BIG mistake. What we have here is a jazz ensemble covering Sting's songs from all the way back to "Roxanne" all the way up through his Nothing Like the Sun album. It makes sense to do it; after all, Sting is one of the artists today who is most heavily influenced by jazz, especially on Dream of the Blue Turtles and Nothing Like the Sun.
