Upbeat fusion-tinged grooves with Dave Liebman on sax, adding some excellent free-jazz touches. You'll find Bianco (drums) on some abstract free-improv discs in our library, but here, he pulls out the rock/fusion influences: electric guitar and electric piano, solid steady beats and grooves, space for Liebman's shredding solos -- and of course lots of dense and complex drumming. Adds balaphon (a xylophone-like wooden instrument) for some "world" touches. Great stuff; play any track!
1- Mid/fast, kind of a "traditional" fusion sound
2- Coolly swingy, even bluesy.
3- Fast with balaphon clacking, slow sax lead for a breezy feel
4- Deep mystery: High flute and dark guitar/drums
5- Fast chugging, a bit funky.
6- A bit darker, but fast. Lots of guitar noise and drums.
7- A mid/fast cooldown
8- Indian? Indonesian? Percussive chimes and pipey flute. Fast, pleasant, and very "ethnic" sounding
9- Mid/fast, starts rather mellow but gets spikes of intensity
10- Fast beat, cool fusion feel. Bright, upbeat, a little crazy
11- Brisk, raw free jazz sax blare. Drums/sax duet.
