"10. **** Grover and Bob team under the sappy Creed Taylor label in the 70s for what was one of the better outcomes." less

"*** Kind of a cool mp3. Sound sounds a little off." less

"8. ***** Flora Purim hit her stride on this one. 'Butterfly' features Flora's gorgeous voice in sustained notes on beautiful Brazilian ballads. On Dr. Jive, David Amaro plays a great rock guitar solo all of this backed of course by Airto's playful rhythms." less

"14. **** A good recording but Gary's is enhanced in the 2nd half when the synthesizer accompanies him." less

"3. ***** Brotzmann and Laswell enter the 80s rocking with the spirit of 70s punk in their pocket trumpets." less

"2. ***** Maneri tributes Miles late 60s period." less

"4. ***** Great 80s fusion."

"15. **** Miles loved Santana and I li..." more

"15. **** Miles loved Santana and I like these better than the Columbia records. These are freer and looser that leads to more improvisations and surprises." less

"14. **** Swingin!"

"16. **** Giuffre in a mid-life crisis..." more

"16. **** Giuffre in a mid-life crisis no doubt." less
