This was a profound and innovative musical contribution. Harvey Mason on the drums had an approach and sensitivity unlike other approaches and it was carefully crafted into the jazz fusion sound that was exploring every genre jazz could copulate with.

I could go on about each musician and the total sound and even further what the sound was like, what it felt like on the public stage.
Herbie Hancock opened for Miles Davis at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC promoting this album. I was there and remember in particular what each band member did when the show started. For now, let it all stand still. It is hard to bring moments back. All moments are like trails, or streams. They come from somewhere, lead somewhere and are traceable in the present moments. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1.15.16
