Notes
AMG Review (4 1/2):
Guitarist John Scofield and tenor saxophonist Eddie Harris make a very complementary team on this upbeat set of funky jazz, for both have immediately identifiable sounds and adventurous spirits. Along with a fine rhythm section that includes Larry Goldings on piano and organ, Scofield and Harris interact joyfully on ten of the guitarist's originals. — Scott Yanow

Reviewer: Tall Paul (see more about me) from San Diego, CA United States
When Allan releases an album he takes no prisoners. The opening 2 minute song City Lights is worth the price of the CD alone. Hold on tight! Man, those killer chord progressions! Allan is still the greatest fusion guitarist in my opinion. He has a style and tone like no other and all his compositions are unparalleled as far as depth and chord progressions. Its as though the tone of his guitar is like a human voice. Not to mention he is one the greatest soloist ever. Incredible bass work from Jimmy Johnson.
