Glen Cannon runs through some very interesting progressions that involve some very provocative chordal harmonies that make a significant contribution to the effort. Though the voicing of chords on these guitar parts is somewhat subdued because of the style of classic jazz that is the format for the music, the contrast of the different chords, the rhythms, meters, and harmonization is quite impressionable. Tim Wilson's sax soloing that follows these complex progressions is equally impressive with his demonstration of his capability to follow and improvise coherently over them. And, Cannon has some nice, clean-toned, speedy runs and well-placed contrapuntal phrasings with savory harmonization for his solos that demonstrate his capabilities on lead guitar.

The quartet covers two notable compositions, "Norwegian Wood" from the Beatles and "Giant Steps" from John Coltrane, that bring to light their style by contrast to the originals. The variation on the themes that they devise and the adaptation of the themes to their musical vision clearly demonstrates their tasty angle on jazz, as well as their firm grasp on jazz. The remainder of the tracks are original compositions by Cannon and Wilson that exhibit their strong compositional skills.

Though some of the liner notes indicate an element of fusion in this CD, the music seems more closely oriented to progressive jazz than fusion, as voiced by the clean tones and subdued nature rather than the aggression that is more commonly found with fusion. Meaning that there is more of a jazz influence than a rock influence, and the music is the better for it in this case!
