A brilliant little record, and one that really lives up to the heady claim of its title! The lineup here is spare, but the sound is really full – swelling with complicated colors, images, and tones that delight us with each new track – a masterpiece in understatement, and one of the most perfectly realized blends of acoustic and electric jazz instrumentation from the late 70s! The sound is really a perfect “fusion” of modes – with guitar from Vic Juris and keyboards from Barry Miles dancing alongside the bass of John Burr and drums of Terry Silverlight – never too jamming or too rock-influenced, but always filled with energy and a sense of imagination. Titles include the beautiful “Tandoori” – a stone jazz dance groover with some great scatted vocals alongside the guitar – and other tracks include “Sunrise”, “Streams”, “Routes”, “Follow Me”, and “Country Miles”. © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
