Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut release from the highly technical jazz-rock outfit showcases guitarist Scott Henderson's virtuosic phrasing and deep blues roots. Blending complex, odd-metered compositions with aggressive, high-energy improvisations, the album quickly established the group as formidable forces in modern fusion.
