Overall a good album. It is a sax album though but on some occassions
it features Mike Stern more then well. It has two Stern
compositions in Words, great composition with a great sax solo,
and The Search, my favourite track, a great sax solo. The album
starts off with Friday Night At The Cadillac Club. Great
swinging song with some great hammond organ stuff. It moves on to
Snakes which is a jazzy piece and it has an uptempo solo by
Mike. Kalimba is nice piece featuring David Sanborn on
alto sax. Maya a great sax piece and then finally some Mike
Stern at his best in That's The Ticket. Then a boring piece
called Junior.
If you're only looking for Mike Stern then I would not recommend this
album, but if you like Bob Berg, well then you have the album probably
by now.
