Album Notes & Community Reviews

Chronicling their expansive 1991 European tour, this recording highlights the lush, rhythmically complex fusion that earned the ensemble immense crossover success. The group incorporates sweeping Brazilian percussion and heavily synthesized guitar textures into meticulously constructed melodic jazz pieces. It serves as an immaculately produced summary of their polished, highly accessible late-era sound.
