"1995: A great year to Mr."chameleon" Frank Gambale, creating this artistic bend of light Jazz instrumentals with tradicional, bebop, Fusion, Latin and Pop textures in the classic vein of late 70's and early 80's guitarists like George Benson, Earl Klugh, Joe Pass, Steve Laury, Pat Metheny or Stanley Jordan. This Disc marked again an abrupt change in his solo recording career that began into the Jazz Fusion format passed through diverse rock oriented stations and became to this new stage: light, refreshed and interesting! dominating various Jazz guitar styles and presenting tracks like Magritte, Bondi Beach, No-neck Louie, The Advengers Suite (Parts 1 and 2), that presents great bebop improvisations by Frank Gambale, Otmaro Ruiz on Keyboards, Brian Auger on Hammond B3 and his former partner ex-Chick Corea's Elektric Band, Dave Weckl on Drums. The track My Little Viper is a good song with an instrumental rock treatment, like in the old recording times...Keep on listening!..."

"This is one of my favorite Jazz Albums. The sound quality is excelent and the recording Eng. did a great job doing the Mix. Now, as of the content of the production, it is as equaly excelent. Small Group Light Jazz arrangements with the guitar (mostly clean hollow body type guitars) as the forefront. I don't know Mr. Gambales other works but this one is a Keeper."
