Customer Reviews:

Supa Bad!.......2001-09-14

This is by far the funkiest and tastiest live jazz fusion funk record ever recorded. This album was conceived(mid 70's) at a time when truly creative music was very much appreciated, unlike today. There is more substance in this record than I have space to elaborate on here. And there is not one funkless bone in this band. This will be a well appreciated addition to any true music lovers collection.

Peace & Happy Funking

I saw these cats in Pittsburgh back in 1976 at the Strand ........2000-01-28

I had this album on plastic but due to a miss-hap, I've spent the past 15+ years hit'n every record store /garage sale looking for this dyn-no-mite ! record. If you want to know what fusion is about, you must get this disk. Cobham kicks a whole in your speakers and registers a 4.5 on the earth quake meter! Geroge Duke grew another arm with 2 hands on it! Check it out, if fusion / rock / funk, is your thang! This was the penicle of fusion and funk. The cats studied !

Everything you want in a jazz fusion album.......2000-01-19

This is an example of several musical masters utilizing their genius through sound. This cd truly has magnificent range and a masterful mix of collaborative jazz fusion. Billy C puts together some of the most amazing solos and rhythms one could imagine. Duke and Johnson - need I say more? This is a definite winner!

one of fusions top ten.......1999-09-10

i collect jazz and fusion from the 70's and this is always near my cd player. great tunes & chops- a very addictive recording.

Fantastic band, stellar live album........1998-12-29

This record is probably the only documentation of this awesome act, which included John Scofield on guitar and Alphonso Johnson on bass--both at the top of their craft. This is true fusion: heavy on the funk and rock, but chock fulla killer jazz changes and full-shred soloing. As usual with a Cobham offering, there are moments of self-indulgence (Frankenstein Goes to the Disco) and there are plenty of space noises. But this truly represents the finest era of jazz/rock fusion--before the genre was nearly destroyed by "smooth jazz."
