Album Notes & Community Reviews
An unusual hybrid release that intersperses pristine new studio recordings with explosive live tracks captured during a European tour. The album successfully balanced the band's demanding, percussion-heavy jazz-fusion inclinations with highly accessible, melodic Latin pop hits, revitalizing their commercial standing.
