5.0 out of 5 stars He's back!, May 21, 2010

This recording was a welcome surprise. Lenny has not played like this since the seventies. This is a powerful fusion album with it's heart as much in P-Funk and Miles as it is RTF. This album is funky, rocking and just plain terrific. The female vocals on two tracks don't quite fit, the rest are instrumentals with the exception of the last track which has a brief spoken word intro. It's great to hear some of his old band mates from Astral Pirates return. Stanley Clarke plays on one track and Victor Bailey sits in on a number of others. This is just plain terrific. Here's hoping he stays committed to playing fusion again. He has been missed! Highly recommended.-Simon

4.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic album from drumming legend Lenny White!, July 3, 2010

Lenny White is the legendary drummer from the awesome jazz rock fusion band Return To Forever and this is his new solo album filled with an eclectic collection of songs showcasing both his talent and that of his group of awesome musicians. The album opens up with "Drum Boogie" which has an intense groove and awesome syncopated drumming. This song sets a high standard and leads nicely into the heavy riff of "We Know" with some great fills and a nice melody on top. From here the album goes all over the place in musical styles with songs like "Coming Down" which has a Prince vibe, the funky and soulful "Forever", and the progressive groove of "Gazelle" and "Election Day". Only two songs have vocals so this is definitely one for the instrumental fans. I enjoyed the way the album was very progressive and technical yet still musical with nice catchy grooves and melodies. The crisp production and excellent mixing is also a highlight. A very solid album overall and highly recommended to fans of quality modern fusion like CAB and of course Return To Forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars STILL GOT IT!, August 22, 2010

I was at the Iridium Jazz Club and got to hear some of this music live. I hadn't seen Lenny since the Return To Forever reunion tour a few years back.
It's a joy to have Lenny back as a leader. I know Lenny has done a lot of things but if all he ever did was the RTF stuff he would still have my
undying respect. This a an excellent CD and as I heard for myself the music goes over very well onstage. If you're a Lenny White fan then I know I'm
preaching to the choir. Welcome back Lenny!
