On the opening track "Push" Powell's limber fretwork is nicely complimented by Kirk Whalum's torrid tenor sax stylings. Powell augments several selections with different saxophonists and trumpet players sitting in. What I appreciate most about Powell's playing is that while it's passionate, it's not overpowering. His vocal skat on the title track, "Cool Like That" glides along with the guitar and compliments it. It's nice to hear a artist that is so confident in his technique that he doesn't have to overpower you with a monsoon of notes and "Hey-look-at-me" solos.
