First let me say that I think Scott is definitely one of the very best guitarists on the planet. I saw him perform many times when I was a student at Musicians Institute. His best work however can be found on the following recordings when he was with Tribal Tech: Dr Hee, Nomad and their fourth recording simply titled "Tribal Tech." This fourth recording is the band at their peak .As Tribal Tech went forward the band went into more and more jams with the compositions suffering .Finally Scott went off into his blues / whammy phase which is without a doubt a step down and this Collection is a compilation from this later period . Several songs on this set are outstanding and if you don't have the originals it may be worth it to the die hard fan of which I am one . In the final analysis , if I want to listen to blues rock material I stick with the masters from the 60's and 70"s or with folks like SRV or Satriani. The recording Scott has yet to make is one of rocked out versions of jazz standards . I saw him play this way with students the whole year that I was at MI and he was always amazing.

Nice collection from a Jazz/rock/blues/fusion master. Scott Henderson is on my top 10 list of greatest guitar players out there today. He is so original in his style. He goes from blues, to rock, to jazz, funk, and combines them all into a plethora of sound. Get it, and check out Scott's other cds, and also Tribal Tech....
