Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is in my opinion one of Chick Corea's best albums to date and certainly one of the best by the Elektric Band. There's no way you can go wrong when the band has the best on each instrument. Dave Weckl on drums, John Pattitucci on Bass, Frank Gambale on Guitar, Eric Marienthal on Saxes and, of course, Chick on keyboards. This album happened right after Chick purchased his Yamaha SY99 and his experimentations with it are just outstanding. (just listen to "99 Flavors"!) I had the pleasure/honor to see these five artists perform the music from this album on tour at Glassboro State College (now Rowan University). I can tell you first-hand that Dave Weckl plays the entire beginning of "Jammin E Cricket" alone (the bass licks are sampled and triggered by electronic drum pads). It's absolutely wild. This is some of the best modern jazz playing that you will hear. PERIOD! If you like jazz with a rock/funk/latin edge, then buy this album! NOW!!!
