Five Peace Band's music recalls some elements of Corea's Return to Forever and McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, but there's a lot more at work: world music, blues, and bebop all play a role. Most of all, it's simply a pleasure listening to five top-flight musicians playing at the highest level of technical ability with intensity, hope and, above all, joy.
Alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett, another Miles alum, has worked in a smorgasbord of idioms, mainly as a leader in recent years. Bassist Christian McBride has worked primarily in jazz, but he's no stranger to funk, fusion, pop and classical music. Drummer Vinnie Colaiuta has spent much of his time on the rock side of the fusion divide, working with musicians such as Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck, Sting and Joni Mitchell. But he's also proved his jazz credentials with folks like Herbie Hancock, the Buddy Rich Big Band and Quincy Jones.
This is the first composition on this album, composed by John McLaughlin.
thats 100% skill, passion for music, creativety, love and all good things that exists on earth :)

Again,I don't care about what the critics say.Mclaughlin and Corea still know how to create something new.The return of unison phrases is still much needed.It's the way they divide time that's the genius.1 2 3 4 ....
