Recorded inward '92, "HEADLINE" brought the trio amongst Ron Carter & Al Foster dorsum together, but, i time once to a greater extent than Polydor K.K.(Japan) had their ain ideas nearly the administration I should pursue. Go Steve!This time, inward improver 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 every bit a trio, it was tardily 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 inward the USA on Bluemoon Records, presents the contrast of these ii formats and, for roughly fans of Eyewitness, it turned to endure a slap-up matter that they could involve heed us playing 'odd-ball' standards every bit opposed to our ain unique master copy compositions. Like "LET'S CALL THIS" the music is drawn from the slap-up jazz of the mid-'60s. "Autumn inward Rome" was alone the 2d melody yesteryear my belatedly begetter 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 crusade to conduct tunes which most guitarists don't play every bit a rule. Though at that spot 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 compass 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 accept developed their ain rattling special agency 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 inward ii dissimilar settings on this CD: inward an acoustic trio amongst bassist Ron Carter together with drummer Al Foster on half dozen songs, together with jamming amongst electrical bassist Anthony Jackson, drummer Dennis Chambers together with percussionist Manolo Badrena on 3 tunes. Actually, at that spot is a definite unity to the program, together with Khan is featured on a diverseness of jazz tunes including numbers yesteryear 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") yesteryear 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.
