Following two studio recordings, this impressive band hit the road and cut this session with keyboardist
George Duke. Their encounter provided for an uneven, but infectious, recording. "Hip Pockets," composed by
Cobham, and "Ivory Tattoo," composed by
Scofield, begin the session with some intense playing. Things get a bit goofy with "Space Lady" (a song which probably worked better live), and a bit melodramatic with "Almustafa the Beloved." "Do What Cha Wanna" features
Duke on vocals and, ironically, made it onto
Cobham's
Best of Billy Cobham. The closer, "Frankenstein Goes to the Disco," is primarily a vehicle for
Cobham, while "Sweet Wine" and "Juicy" are good jam sessions. Despite some corny moments, this is a fun session that continues to be one of
Cobham's most sought after recordings. ~ Robert Taylor
