Ponty at his best!

"If you are a fan of Ponty this alblum is a must. It is a 10 star on a scale of 5. You will not regret buying it. The music will make you feel good regardless of what is going on in your life. I heard it first in 1983 and listen to it today with as much satisfaction as I did in 1983. Enjoy!"

Jean-Luc's best

"When it comes right down to it, all these reviews are purely personal opinion. With that in mind, this is my favorite. I own ten of Jean-Luc's CDs and this one, along with Enigmatic Ocean, are the ones I listen to the most. I especially like the drum work on A Taste for Passon. Awesome! Maybe its the production, but the drums seem to come alive. Nice deep, rich sound. It also has more violin and less synthesizer; I like that. At any rate I would suggest this CD to any body who appreciates good contemporary jazz. Good Stuff!"

Exceptional late 70s fusion

"Years ago I used up hundreds of blank audio cassettes recording music from the radio. Eventually, I outgrew that obsession (track 9 here), tapes demagnetized & turned to molasses, & I developed another one: finding all my favorite stuff on CD."Stay With Me" was one of those tunes; if you're even remotely romantic, this'll send chills up your spine. The rest is bouncy, lightweight fare but very listenable, if very 70s. For me, the music is a reminder of the pre-deregulation years when music was for something more than selling jeans & hot sauce."
