Guitarist
John Scofield contributed all nine originals on this album and teams up with up-and-coming tenor saxophonist
Joe Lovano, bassist
Dennis Irwin and drummer
Bill Stewart for a set of consistently stimulating music. The interesting blend between
Scofield and
Lovano, the consistently inventive solos, and the unpredictable material -- which falls loosely into the post-bop area but is really unclassifiable -- make this a CD worth listening to several times.
