Highly technical playfulness that expands the horizons of jazz fusion.
An important work from his later years, where Joe Zawinul's colorful synths intersect with Wayne Shorter's sharp sensibility.
Moving on from their early experimental sound, their sound is characterized by a more rhythmic and accessible groove. The fusion of urban coolness that permeates the meticulous ensemble and international rhythms scattered throughout creates a sophisticated atmosphere that listeners will never tire of.
