With JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, HERBIE HANCOCK, JOE HENDERSON and JACK DEJOHNETTE, this group rivaled the best fusion bands of the day. It must have been an intimidating challenge for a young Czech bassist to lead such a group on his debut album as a frontman, especially since he composed five of the six tracks. Recorded a year after the historic Bitches Brew and the year before Vitous began a stint with the innovative Weather Report, this was trend-setting fusion. It's produced by Herbie Mann, for whom Vitous played on such albums as «Memphis Underground» and «Stone Flute». |
