Leader album by British bassist Dave Holland, released on ECM in 1987, featuring Steve Coleman(as), Kenny Wheeler(fh,tp), Robin Eubanks(tb), Marvin "Smitty" Smith(ds). The album is full of cool modal jazz in an adult mood, including Afro-Cuban jazz A3 with Kenny Wheeler trumpet howling hotly, Afro-like drums with a dense atmosphere, minimalistic swaying bass, and cool B3 with muted trumpet reminiscent of Miles Davis. Spatial mixing by Martin Wieland is also excellent. Original German pressing.
