Guitarist John Scofield's debut as a leader was originally cut for the Japanese Trio label.
Scofield's sound was already pretty recognizable this early in his career, although his playing was more funk-oriented than it would become.
Scofield is teamed with bassist Clint Houston, drummer Motohiko Hino and (on two of the six selections) trumpeter Terumasa Hino.
"Amy" is taken as an unaccompanied guitar solo, which gives the date a bit more variety.
The music still sounds pretty strong over two decades later, although for John Scofield, there would be many more steps forward in his future development.
