In the same vein as The Dreamers, which makes sense, because after the release of that album Zorn formed a band called The Dreamers (named after the album) and released this record. O'o (the title refers to the extinct bird species) is a more focused effort than The Dreamers, though as aforementioned, the styles are similar: easy-listening jazz. The album drifts into the background at times, but stand-outs like "Little Bittern" and "Kakawahie" are engaging, and the record is never poor-- just occasionally uneventful.
