Musillami offers a number of previously recorded studio pieces in enhanced form
on disc 1 and in a live venue on disc 2 and in every case his arrangements and
improvisational contributions of the group breathe new life into the
compositions. "Uncle Fino's Garden" opens disc one with Musillami's shimmering
chords vibrating with a light touch and followed by a more intricate pattern of
single notes. It sets up Davis' tossing much of the melody aside and
reorienting the sound to the point that only a complete stop allows Musillami
to reclaim the lead. "Bald Yet Hip (Intro)," with an excellent solo from Fonda,
and the subsequent main piece demonstrate why Davis is one of the most
in-demand musicians of recent years. She takes the piece from lyrical to
abstract and back in a seamless transformation of performances.
