Fearless Upbeat Fusion
J. Anderson | CA United States | 10/16/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a long-lost favorite rediscovered after a couple of decades, and found to be even better than remembered, to huge surprise. Just wow -- such rare optimistic fearless jazz, Brecker on the EWI, just gives you goosebumps. Brecker, Maineri, Erskine, Victor Bailey on bass, and assorted monster players are united in a fleeting musical era -- electric jazz fusion like this only existed for a short while, sadly. To my way of thinking, this is truly Fusion jazz (as opposed to bland "Smooth Jazz"), some of it hard jazz, some slightly formulaic at first, but not for long. It's hard-driving way-electric JAZZ and definitely colors outside the lines. Yes, that's possible to do with jazz. Steps Ahead did it a lot. Unique sound, positive sound. Inspiring and uplifting. Highly recommended."
