This is the band's first self-produced work, and it is a memorable piece that shines with new charm.
A sound with a strong urban fusion flavor.
With top-class musicians such as Herbie Hancock and Harvey Mason backing him up, he freely created sound designs. The album includes the jazz fusion "What's Now" and the Latin-flavored "Men and Women."
