I really need to look eastwards. "Jazz fusion prog-rock" seems to sum this up album nicely, Chef. Apart from a couple of live Herbie tours to Japan from that period which I listen to on CD, I haven't heard much. Time to delve.

(From my noob standpoint, maybe we'll get TrollHeart passionate in some classic jazz fusion, but please don't tell him yet).

I'll get to the bottom of it, even if it kills me.

Thanks for replying, I stopped doing reviews because seemed only the robots are watching. But perhaps I'll start up again, it's nice to engage with what I'm listening to at the moment with a review.

Hey Chef, I'm getting to grips with this site as well! As a newbie, I'm just trying to find my way though the genres. Please keep going with your reviews, if you have the time!

And I'll try to chip in.

Personally I've seen/read a lot of banter so far with TH, Plankton, SGR, Batlord, music_collector, rubber_soul, Ayn, Frownland, DYCDTTS, Exo, Marie, QX.... and many others.

I was introduced to Kazumi with Kylyn, so that'll always hold a special place in my heart, but the Spice of Life is great too.

I mean, come on! It's Jeff Berlin and Bill Bruford.
