An Excellent Jazz/Fusion LP, Well Worthy Of Your Time.

P-Star | UK | 12/14/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A holy grail for many years, this fine example of Japanese fusion is finally available to all (even though it's through the notoriously ham-fisted cheapskates at Soul Brother). Forget the 'club' track ('Umma Be Me') - it's the only blight on this otherwise immaculate musical landscape. The down-tempo opener 'Unicorn Lady' is funky, moody and intense. 'Some Other Blues' finds Steve Grossman in playful (but "not playing"!) mood and 'New Moon' & 'Understanding' are just class. If you thought the fusion idiom was trite and unsophisticated, this is one of many obscure LPs which will hopefully change your mind. Heartily recommended."
