Solo-album van toenmalig bassist van Weather Report, m.m.v. een keur aan vooraanstaande jazzrockmusici, waaronder ook enige uit Frank Zappa's band bekende musici (zoals percussioniste Ruth Underwood), maar ook met kleine gastrollen voor de soulzangers Jon Lucien en Philip Bailey en de jazzzangeres Diane Reeves.
Concert, opgenomen op 8 juli 1996 op het Montreux Jazz festival .
"Following two studio recordings, this impressive band hit the road and cut this session with keyboardist George Duke. Their encounter provided for an uneven, but infectious, recording. "Hip Pockets," composed by Cobham, and "Ivory Tattoo," composed by Scofield, begin the session with some intense playing. Things get a bit goofy with "Space Lady" (a song which probably worked better live), and a bit melodramatic with "Almustafa the Beloved." "Do What Cha Wanna" features Duke on vocals and, ironically, made it onto Cobham's "Best of Billy Cobham". The closer, "Frankenstein Goes to the Disco," is primarily a vehicle for Cobham, while "Sweet Wine" and "Juicy" are good jam sessions. Despite some corny moments, this is a fun session that continues to be one of Cobham's most sought after recordings, leading to its release on CD." (Robert Taylor, Allmusic)
