Notes

It has been a great pleasure for me to have a chance to collaborate with Steve Khan on his first solo album. I was constantly amazed at his knowledge of the entire spectrum of music. Steve's music signals a new era in jazz, combining the best elements of his rock, jazz & progressive background. It has been exciting watching it come to life on this record.
Bob James

You can totally tell that this is a Bob James production. It's not bad at all, and don't get me wrong, James has done some great stuff. But you can also see why Steve Khan made no more Tappan Zee records, even though staying there probably would have guaranteed him more commercial success.Being a Bob James production, it's far more dated than any other Khan record. It's also got a tighter, more pop-oriented sound, complete with goofy melodies and disco beats. Khan's signature guitar sound is there, but it seems to be less center-stage than his other recordings.
