Sean and his masters rev up the electric jazz to new heights. Drum master Marko Djordjevic propels the music like a new wave Billy Cobham, but with multi-layered poly rhythms to go along with pummeling beats. The sound is heavy thanks to Marko and bassist Even Marien and offers a launch pad for Nowell's swirling electric sax work, the brass of Mason and Dease, and sheets of sound from keyboardists Adam Klipple and Art Hirahara. It's 70's Miles transformed for these interesting (end)times.
