"Searching, Finding has what sounds like Peter Erskine. You'll never hear better drumming in your life. If Peter Erskine played on only this one song his whole life, this one tune justifies his fame... it is super super crisp, his time is so comfortable I could pull up a cook stove and bake some bread, and I'm not sure how he manages to pull off gorgeous comfortable fills and not get in the way. OK this track since I can't find album credits MIGHT be Weckl in an Erskine mood, with a bebop kit. But my guess is Erskine. Awesome track. And Baja Bajo has Colaiuta playing a bajon so free and solid its hard to believe. SO drummers who love these two guys won't be disappointed! And of course, great song writing."

"best. A true classic!



Includes some very funky playing by Patitucci & some nice piano solos by Corea. Overall Patitucci's funkiest album.



Check out the beautiful "Growing", the really funky "Wind Sprint", &... ah well, the whole album is fantastic. Somewhat like an "Elektric Band"-album, but with much more accessible (better?) melodies & compositions.



(Oh, Frank Gambale is NOT included which is a big +...)"
