The jazz group GSP looks to the past and draws inspiration from an array of classic songs. The pace of “Anthropology (2009),” a cover of the great Charlie Parker tune, starts off slow and a little disjointed at first. But gradually, it captures the listener's attention. Nick Lyon’s improvising on alto sax is very intriguing, but he cuts it off rather abruptly and jumps back to the melody way too soon. However, it leaves plenty of room for Galen Pittman’s Fender Rhodes piano, which permeates the sound of the track from then on.
