This is the all-star epic recording featuring myself and The Eclectric Band, along with an AMAZING group of guest artists including Jimmy Pankow: trombone, Bob Mintzer: tenor sax and bass clarinet, Jason Scheff: vocals, Keith Howland: guitar, and Arlington Jones: piano. It is a programmatic work that runs the gammut of jazz-rock-and funk to modern jazz at a cinematic level.
