4.0 out of 5 stars Great music played by 2 bass wizards, April 28, 2000

This cd is very enjoyable, Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey show thier talent with original music played with leading bass and create a very original kind of music that can liked among jazz listeners. While Vic Wooten is probably one of the best bass players of today, mostly because of his technique, this is not a Wooten showcase of his wonderful playing abilits, in this cd Vic plays slow melodies or low grooves unlike his solo cds where his shows off his technique. This cd is very enjoyable specially for bass players or those who wants to experience bass guitar as a leading instrument in jazz fusion music.

Wooten and Bailey had recorded a wonderful cd which is a must for every bass player, they take the 4 strings and the 6 strings fretless and make unbelieveable sounds and rhythems... it has it all, funk, jazz, groove! buy it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Cool, October 28, 1999

I must say that Steve and Victor are the best. This CD is cool, but not one that I can listen to a lot. It has a lot of nasty playing and creative ideas and I dig it, maybe because I am a bass player. If you play bass, you would appretiate this. 3 stars is not an insult, it is a solid CD not at all bad, but not increadible.
