Title: One of my all-time favorite jazz CD's
Product review: This is one of the better examples of jazz fusion to come out of the otherwise dead period of the 80's. Marc Johnson's songwriting, bass playing, and supporting cast blend to create a cohesive and melodic jam session of world music rhythems.So many cultures are sampled in these compostions, Folk, Country and Western, Japanese, Blues, Funk, Indian, Reggae,classical...you name it and it is represented somewhere on this disk. My personal fav is "Mojo Highway". A half funk/half reggae opus featuring many of Peter Erskines subtle and not so subtle drum riffs. It also features the best (of the many available) versions of John Scofield's blues classic "Thanks Again".As typical on the ECM label the recording quality is stunning...particularly the bass response. You wanna test out your subwoofer and annoy your neighbors? Pop in this disk and let the bad neighbor relations commence.
