"Slank" (Chatterbox)
A song I wrote which has two different time feels: A funky 4/4 and a latin type 6/8 - whch kind of collide into each other. This song was the first song we recorded and it was all "live". This band "Chatterbox" is my dream band of my favorite cats!!

"Afro Blue" (A Guitar Supreme)
This solo was performed live. I wanted to play on this song because I liked the 6/8 latin groove, with the Coltrane "Giant Steps" changes and an occasional bars of 4/4 which made it very challenging to solo over.

"Jazz" (Vision Of An Inner Mounting Apocalypse)
This is an obscure Mahavishnu song from a 1984 release. The original is only about a minute long!! But I used to listen to it over and over again. Hence, when it came time for me to do this CD, I chose this song and figured out a way to lenghten it.

"Splatch" (Fusion For Miles)
A Marcus Miller tune that I always liked. originally recorded oin "Tutu". I made it in 3/4 from the orignal 4/4. The melody iis in 4/4 however, superiosed nicely over the 3/4. It was an esciting, kick ass groove, so I deceided to try my had at it.
