    This is a beauty of jazz-fusion with an amazong jazz band and you basicaly can not get better. This issue sounds really good and sound is warm, well balanced and crisp.

      A great album for anyone who likes jazz-fusion, but one of the worst album covers I've ever seen. All Weather Report album covers are garish. Try not to let it put you off the music.;)
