The unique all-star group featured on this live set from 1994 had not only never
performed together before as a band, but most of the musicians had never been on
the same stage with each other before. Miles Davis had passed away three years
earlier, so the two Marcus Miller pieces, Tutu (which sounds surprisingly
similar to So What during the solos even if the chords are different) and The
King Is Gone are in tribute to the late trumpeter. The King Is Gone is a
straight-ahead extended blues, while Looking Up has heated solos over a simple
vamp. Overall, Kenny Garrett and Michel Petrucciani generally take solo honors
(Biréli Lagrène is a bit overshadowed), while Miller and Lenny White keep
the rhythms stimulating. Although the three selections are each quite extended,
they hold ones interest throughout. Excellent music.
