Album Notes & Community Reviews

The highly influential jazz guitarist delivered a sleek, deeply melodic session backed by a formidable rhythm section including Peter Erskine and Marc Johnson. Enhanced by the subtle synthesizer textures of Michael Brecker, the fluid compositions lean towards an accessible, atmospheric fusion sound. It perfectly reflects the pristine, sophisticated aesthetic championed by the ECM label during the late eighties.
