This Grammy-winning bassist has played with Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and many others, but this release continues his long string of solo releases (it’s his 16th). He’s a celebrated composer and arranger, too; here, we have a remarkable effort that’s mostly solo bass guitar (some electric, some acoustic): "Seeds of Change," "Morning Train," "The Call," "Morocco," "Elvin," the title track and more masterful mélanges of melody and improvisation!
