Album Notes & Community Reviews

Collaborating closely with keyboardist Jan Hammer, the renowned guitar virtuoso embraces cutting-edge electronic sequencing and drum machines on this polished release. 'Scenario' shifts away from his trademark high-speed acoustic Latin fusion in favor of slick, synthesizer-driven contemporary jazz. The album prominently features Phil Collins on the track 'Cielo e Terra', cementing its broad 1980s crossover appeal.
