It would be an understatement to say that there was a fair amount of variety on this set. Drummer
Tony Williams is heard in two duets with keyboardist
Jan Hammer, with a quartet also including keyboardist
Herbie Hancock,
Tom Scott (who unfortunately sticks to lyricon) and bassist
Stanley Clarke, and he welcomes rock guitarist
Ronnie Montrose, keyboardist
Brian Auger, guitarist
George Benson,
Hammer and tenorman
Michael Brecker on other tracks. Much of this music is closer to R&B than to jazz, although there are many strong moments. But the most interesting selection is certainly "Morgan's Motion" which matches
Williams with pianist
Cecil Taylor in a powerful (and completely atonal) collaboration. ~ Scott Yanow
