During the end of his tenure with Miles Davis (1984 to '87),
saxophonist Bob Berg began to feel the squeeze.
It seemed like Miles was striving to have a pop band, in a certain way.
And I was willing to try anything within reason, just as long as I still
felt like what I was playing was coming from my heart.
But by the time we started playing Cyndi Lauper tunes and Scritti Politti
tunes it started feeling like a lounge act to me.
Bob Berg was rehearsing material with guitarist Mike Stern, when he finally
decided to make the break with Miles.
I felt such a load off of me at the point. After I left Miles I felt like
I really came into my own a lot more. Playing with him really helped me
realize my own direction. It sort of pushed me into what I'm doing now.
The two have one of the hardest-hitting fusion bands on the scene with
Dennis Chambers on drums and Lincoln Goine on bass.
Some of the energy of that dynamic group is captured on this CD.
