If you like prolific artists, how about an artist who manages to crank out an album or two each year with each being uniquely special in its composition one way or another? Such is the case with Mars Lasar whoâs released over 20 albums and has a rather extensive resume of productions, arrangements, and other credits. Weâre talking about affiliations with everyone from Seal to Herbie Hancock to Aerosmith! Thatâs about as eclectic and diverse as one can get, wouldnât you say? This experience doesnât go untapped with At the End of the Day, a project that, upon hearing, I was driven to review.

With an oft-common thread with the fresh silk of Paul Hardcastle, Lasar shows here on At the End of the Day, with the help of accomplished saxophonist Greg Vail (who adds a really nice touch), that heâs as comfortable with the vibe of smooth jazz and wears its grooves as well as he would with any element of new age (which still maintains a presence here), electronica or any of the other genres heâs noted for exploring and conquering. When I think about his previous themes of preserving our planet and resources, protecting our parks, etc., this project--though mostly created in a smooth jazz setting--is not so far removed from those earlier themes of environmental appreciation, with tunes like âA Drive Through Vineyards,â âCity Skyline,â and âSweet Summer Haze.â
The music here is addictively soothing and unimposing, yet boasts a heavy presence in the room just through its moving, lush melodies and smart, well-conceived hooks. In many cases, an album will put forth an up-tempo, driving piece as its opener to get the listenerâs attention. To demonstrate Lasarâs confidence in his ability to capture a listener regardless of the type of tune that sets off his album, this album begins with a slow, hauntingly mellow little ditty called âWarm Nights.â It may not be the pacesetter for the entire album (just listen to the aforementioned âA Drive Through Vineyards,â as well as âGood Timesâ and âUptown,â and youâll get my point), but itâs certainly capable of influencing one to have a seat and give a good, hard listen to the fluid sweetness of the whole production. That fluidity strolls through each track seamlessly. The diversity here is quite satisfying and complete. For example, in addition to tunes Iâve already mentioned here, thereâs âCome and Join Us,â which brings to mind the slinky, kinda bluesy cuts like Rick Braunâs âCadillac Slim.â
Overall, just listen, and youâll agree at the end of the day that Mars Lasar has a bonafide winner.

Mars Lasar has always been an artist who is on the cutting edge. With that attribute comes an artist that refuses to stereotype himself and who has explored themes such as evocative nature recordings, electronic chill out, ambient to straight up reflective lullabies. A brilliant artist, his listening public can always expect the unexpected. This time around Lasar explores smooth jazz with the unique touch one has come to expect from Mars, emphasizing mood over melody.
Upon the opening bar of the album, you immediately realize that you are in for unique blend of mainstream smooth jazz with a twist of Lasar drum loops and sound manipulation that he is famous for. Most of the album focuses on the sensual smoky jazz feeling with significant assistance coming from the in demand session player Greg Vail on saxophones and flute. The album also includes one vocal track, âSometimesâ that features the chanting of Cadence. But without a doubt the highlight of the album is âSweet Summer Hazeâ which presents the albums most distinct and obvious melody. Though smoldering in the smooth jazz genre, the song is smothered in a Lasar melody and it is probably the most commercial effort on the album with âOnce Upon A Starâ coming a close second.
However, the album is not about being safe but about further artistic exploration which may explain why Lasar choose to distribute it via his website versus his new recording label Gemini Sun Records. Keeping his artistic integrity in line, if you are a fan of the smooth jazz genre with a slight twist, at the end of the day this is an album worth exploring.
