This is a fairly typical Mike Stern fusion date, featuring his rocking guitar on seven of his pieces.
Stern is joined by his usual sidemen -- tenor saxophonist Bob Berg, keyboardist Jim Beard, electric bassist Jeff Andrews, either Peter Erskine or Dennis Chambers on drums and percussionist Manolo Badrena -- and plays with plenty of fire, yet a good amount of restraint.
Michael Brecker is a guest on "Chief," jamming on his fairly anonymous-sounding EWI.
A decent effort, easily recommended to fans of the more adventurous rock guitarists.
