Wayne Shorter's soprano saxophone (Miles Davis Ensemble in the 1960s) shines, revealing with full force the extraordinary rapport that the members of the group have built from the beginning. The music consists of subtle melodic lines and is mostly an atmospheric journey of adventure. Influences from Miles Davis' In A Silent Way / Bitches Brew sessions can be heard throughout the album.
