Max has pulled out all the stops while maintaining the art and groove that defines his playing. Instead of simply being a "my fastest chops" album, he has managed to tell a story in each track. Blending the rhythms and soul of the south pacific with the nuances of jazz and funk, this album well and truly blurs the line. If you like the tone and technique of Jaco, and love the feel of Marcus Miller, chances are that you will love this album! </div> <div> <B>Paul Robinson - Active Bass</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
