John Beasley's debut as a leader is a bit of a surprise for he chose to back his acoustic piano (and occasional synthesizer) with rather inflexible funk rhythms on most of the selections. The music is danceable and occasionally there are worthwhile solos (particularly from tenor saxophonist Steve Tavaglione when he is not imitating Michael Brecker) but none of the original compositions are very memorable. In fact many are rather interchangeable and all but "Zulu King" (one second short of five minutes) clock in between five and six and a half minutes, so this music was recorded with the prime purpose of getting radio airplay. The lone ballad ("Run and Hide") has its moments and the musicianship throughout the date is impressive but the lack of any original musical personalities makes this a rather run-of-the-mill release. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
