Album Review
Craig Matsumoto
Reviewed 2003-11-21
Miles' electric-period players reunite for a 2002 gig at Yoshi's. Mostly long funky jams, highlighted by the first two tracks. Non-Miles alumnus Michael Wolff provides plenty of busy organ and electric piano.

Maybe I'm just prejudging, but the program seems tamer than Miles' original sessions. Some of the middle tracks slow it down with mellow interludes, then the program closes out on an upbeat note.

1- Big long swirly jam, ends quietly.
2- Funkier, more of a groove.
3- Relaxed keyboard wanderings, into:
4- Big swirly conclusion
5- Gentle piano, pointless
6- Mellow sax melody, slow
7- Midtempo, deeply funky bassline. Some wild sax and a calm guitar solo
8- Fast, popping beat, happy riff-based theme
