An...interesting but erratic CD reissue. Drummer
Jack DeJohnette (doubling on keyboards) performs three songs with a group featuring bass clarinetist
Bennie Maupin and the guitars of
John Abercrombie and
Mick Goodrick. The music shows the influence of fusion (most obviously on "The Rock Thing") and has its strong moments (much of the nearly 14-minute "Sorcery #1")...The second half of this release, trios by
DeJohnette, bassist
Dave Holland and
Michael Fellerman on metaphone (whatever that is), are less memorable, although one admires
DeJohnette's willingness to take chances... ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
