Album Notes & Community Reviews

Former Miles Davis saxophonist Steve Grossman unleashes a furious, high-velocity jazz fusion masterclass on his debut as a leader. Backed by a devastating rhythm section featuring Jan Hammer on synthesizers and Don Alias on percussion, the album is a relentlessly intense, avant-funk workout that remains highly prized among fusion aficionados.
