I still have the vinyl of this recording along with Casa Loco, Blades and anything else i was fortunate enough to buy back in the day. To be honest, i did not realize what treasures i had then. I do appreciate them now. I had the same experience with Allan Holdsworth's material.
Oh yeah, Anthony's solo! With all the chops in the world at his disposal he turns in something that is so far beyond empty technical display. This version of the band on Eyewitness, Casa Loco and the live record...they create a beautiful world.
Steve Jordan! To think we used to get to see him five nights a week on Letterman. This band is a primer on how to play in a rhythm section and explore, expand and exploit time as a canvas much as modern jazz improvisers exploit altered, superimposed and borrowed harmony. The groove is always there, nobody has to stay home to keep it honest 'though at any given time any one of them might sit right down on it if it serves the music. There is a lesson about Ego to be learned here.
They opened with this piece at the Brecker Brothers Club,Seventh Avenue South back in the seventies..jackson used alembic electric bass(not a contra bass) and jordan had double high hats!! great cowbell great show
Nice find. I still have this CD. Line Up includes Steve Khan: Guitar, Steve Jordan: Drums, Manolo Badrenna: Percussion and Anthony Jackson: Contra Bass. I would of like to have heard Steve Khan and Miles hook up. Their writing styles are similar in how they utilize space. Thanks for posting this song! Peace....
@BlackIceTheory: Yes, I agree. This particular line-up was the greatest at "spacial" arrangement. While all their work together is brilliant, I personally find this piece to be the paradigm example of "how it's done".
