"I disagree. This is new music at it best, mixing the world's great musics in new and inventive ways. I think the lyricist is a nice touch, using a kind of slam poet/freestyle that is really hot. Also, if you list a dancer in your liner notes you know what's up.



As for Steve's playing, he and Osby are the new players. Everyone else is just copping Bird, Cannonball, and Trane licks.



Ralph Alessi (bad trumpet, BAD), Andy Milne (piano/keyboards), Reggie Washington (bass), Gene Lake (drums), Vijay Iyer (keyboards), Miya Masaoka (koto), Josh Jones (percussion),Ramesh Shotham (Indian percussion), Kokayi (lyricist), Yassir Chadly (vocals, percussion) and Laila (dance)."
