Title: What might have been?
Product review: I studied Tony Williams as a young percussionist in the '60's, McLaughlin I saw many times in the early seventies and Jaco Pastorius later. My ear knew what they were capable of as individuals and in ensemble. True I was expecting some kind of hair raising epiphanal synergy that would blast open my chakras or at least get me up to boogie even if only in spirit. What this shows is the enormous potential brought by these three masters who for whatever reason could not or chose not get it there in this group. It shows in the journey they took together as they were playing in 3 other worlds within the same piece and maybe that's where the magic is for some. Some listener in future will take the next step from this CD as an inspiration. I gave it 4 stars for taking the risk to make unique music not just to sell records.
