I bought this CD when I was stationed in Northern Japan in 93. At the time it was early winter and the snow was just falling. The cut East River Drive was the most smoothest track I had heard at that time. I played it so much that to this day I can still smell the cold night air when I hear that song.

I used to own this album on cassette. This has always been one of my favorite Stanley Clarke albums, so there was no question that I would download it to update my jazz catalogue. The work on this album never sounds dated as the grooves are truly timeless.
