A truly great album by a jazz master.

"Art Davis comes through with a spectacular album and an incredible band. Davis is a gifted bassist whose vast discography makes frequent appearances in his powerful, often playful musings. Herbie Hancock's first jazz album in years (of course, he has since made more) proves to be an uplifting experience for the soul. One of Herbie's better straight-ahead ventures as a sideman. Ravi Coltrane is a rising star. His smooth tenor lines and inventive soprano licks get listeners to their feet. Son of master saxophonist John Coltrane, Ravi has know Art Davis since he was a boy, as Davis carried a close musical and personal friendship with John Coltrane, appearing on many Coltrane albums, including "Ole". "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" house drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith proves himself, as always, to be a solid, professional musician who compliments all players in the band.Overall, this is an album you shouldn't pass up. Downbeat magazine gave it four stars, but this listener give it the full FIVE STARS."
