Chris
Standring's debut solo album from 1998. Features trumpeter Rick
Braun and saxman Kirk Whalum. Velvet, the guitarist's first
solo effort after the blazing funk effort by Solar System (led
by Standring and this album's keyboardist/producer Rodney Lee),
is full of glittery synth-created Hammond B-3 and Fender Rhodes
flavors, hypnotic synth washes and gentle shuffling grooves,
punchy wah-wah harmonies and dreamy, otherworldly effects
