David’s latest offering, ‘Mobius’ is truly his best solo album to date. A personal favorite of mine is ‘Back to the 60’s’, with lyrics crying out to you to remember the era that wanted peace (and love) and how strong the movement that ‘Woodstock’ was when we thought we could change the world and have peace forever. A message that is still sadly relevant today. Another song that has a definite topicality to it is the poignant and powerful Where Did They Go, which talks about how people living in disaster torn parts of the world are often abandoned to fend for themselves, especially once the news cameras have moved on to other stories.The song was actually written about 10 years earlier. George Koller was putting out an album called Jazz for Haiti.

There are many standout tracks on this album, with plenty of diversity in sound and style, compliments of Clayton-Thomas and his collaborators. From the sweet samba of “Carnival” and the smooth urban jazz of “Long Night” (with a killer violin solo by Hugh Marsh), to the gospel changes and tight horns of “The Morning News,” Mobius definitely has something for everyone. It is a treat for new listeners and devotees alike.

Mobius ends with a bluesy rocker ”Passin’ Through”. about life on the road.
