5 out of 5 stars Great .......2005-04-08

This recording is awesome, all the interpreters are world class musicians. Go buy it!

3 out of 5 stars Far More Drums Wanted.......1998-12-04

Only the tremendous creativity of Tony's drumming could have compensated for the merely pleasant orchestral pieces (a series of variations) he composed for this CD, but the recording engineer has tried his best to artificially swamp that complex presence with strings, and has unfortunately succeeded. Tony also takes the sonic back seat in the electronic quintet numbers and some incredible brushwork textures have to be deciphered instead of marveled at. Brecker's facile electicism is no substitute for the muscular originality of the lesser-known Billy Pierce who played tenor on Tony's last four quintet albums on Blue Note. Stanley Clarke is a solid foundation and Metheny takes flight, but we still cannot hear the drums! The technology has improved to the point of finally being able to acurately capture the extremely complex waveforms of percussion instruments, but the great musician Tony is here forced into the wallpaper with the irresponsible twiddle of a knob! It's all about who controls the controls, but it is tragically not about drums.
