Recorded inwards '92, "HEADLINE" brought the trio amongst Ron C
arter & Al Foster dorsum together, but, i time once to a greater extent than Polydor K.K.(Japan) had their ain ideas well-nigh the direction I should pursue. Go Steve!This time, inwards add-on to the trio tracks, they wanted me to tape amongst the Eyewitness instrumentation. As Anthony Jackson, Dennis Chambers together with I had been touring Europe equally a trio, it was slow to add together Manolo Badrena to the mix, together with this VERY special chemical scientific discipline came dorsum to us without missing a beat. The CD, which was released inwards the USA on Bluemoon Records, presents the contrast of these 2 formats and, for to a greater extent than or less fans of Eyewitness, it turned to hold upward a bang-up affair that they could listen us playing 'odd-ball' standards equally opposed to our ain unique master copy compositions. Like "LET'S CALL THIS" the music is drawn from the bang-up jazz of the mid-'60s. "Autumn inwards Rome" was solely the 2d melody past times my belatedly virile individual nurture which I recorded. It's a pretty obscure piece, but, that's why I chose it. Along amongst together with then much of the other material, I endeavour to direct tunes which most guitarists don't play equally a rule. Though in that place are many special moments from both configurations of personnel on this recording, I am peculiarly pleased amongst the functioning of "All of Nothing at All," which demonstrates the ambit together with depth of Dennis Chambers' drumming, together with Eyewitness-like interplay from everyone. Joe Henderson's "Caribbean Fire Dance" shows that Anthony together with Dennis convey developed their ain real special means of making music together, together with the 'free' Intro to Ornette Coleman's "Turnaround" gives them farther room to explore this chemistry.
Guitarist Steve Khan is heard inwards 2 unlike settings on this CD: inwards an acoustic trio amongst bassist Ron C
arter together with drummer Al Foster on 6 songs, together with jamming amongst electrical bassist Anthony Jackson, drummer Dennis Chambers together with percussionist Manolo Badrena on iii tunes. Actually, in that place is a definite unity to the program, together with Khan is featured on a multifariousness of jazz tunes including numbers past times Larry Young, Ornette Coleman ("The Blessing" together with "Turnaround"), Clare Fischer, Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk together with Joe Henderson. He fifty-fifty plays a vocal ("Autumn In Rome") past times his father, Sammy Cahn. The guitarist consistently stretches himself during these performances (which include a 10½-minute version of "All or Nothing at All") together with is heard throughout at his most creative.
