Excellent album, this is one of my most listened to jazz albums. There is something about the mood here. Holland's bass is undeniable, he is, of course, one of the greats. But between the horns and the percussion and marimbas, my mind is just taken to another world. This kind of music is usually played on a rainy day, or late at night. It just has that feel to it.

90s jazz has usually been something I haven't been into much, aside from a few exceptions, but this album leaves me wanting more. If you like post-bop, but with a whole lot of creativity, a little groove, and excellent players, this is the album to check out. One of Dave's best albums in the last 20 years.
