Title: Skip this Carlos effort
Review: Not his best. I love Carlos and his collaborations, but this is weak. Carlos sounds great as usual, but the songs are lacking. The contributors are, I'm sure, excellent in their fields, but this is not the place to learn about them because the songs are just not good. The Gregg Rollie and Ottmar Liebert songs are pretty decent. The ones with John McLaughlin and Stanley Clarke are just not worthy of their talents, but at least their musical skills show. Otherwise, I would have given it a one star. If you cut out the parts played by the other artists and just listen to the Carlos parts, it might be a decent CD.
