During "Our Happiness is Guaranteed," Janet Weiss pounds out drumbeats that come close to knocking her off her own stoo, while Coomes climbs on top of his keyboard and takes a few moments to beat it senseless in a furious blowout of metallic screeching.

Wooten's band contained both his middle brother Joseph, a keyboard player, and Regi, his oldest brother and a guitarist. Joseph's cheesy pop material was irritating, especially his "Hero" from 1987, but Wooten recovered thanks to his improvisational wizardry...
