4 stars This is a collection of excellent performances by the finest fusion bass player ever at the peak of his career. Do I need to say any more?

The producer of this album, apparently Stanley Clarke himself, made the wise choice of only including the musically interesting pieces the band played, not any of the fuzak songs that peppered many of his albums.

Every song is expertly performed by Stanley and his band. Particular kudos must go to guitarist Ray Gomez and drummer Gerry Brown, who are both easily able to match Clarke in technique and intensity.

the only drawback is the sound quality on a few of the songs, that sound like good bootlegs instead of quality live recordings. "The Magician" a Return To Forever classic suffers from this. The band plays the song at blinding speed, but the tinniness of the recording makes it difficult to listen to.
