...title, this album is a persuasive blend of jazz and pop. Burton's mallets dance over the vibes knocking out masterly, improvised melodies. Occasionally he forays into the fugue, as in Lines, where Larry Coryell's country-blues guitar plays an especially effective counterpoint. Steve Swallow on bass provides a mellow underpinning, while Drummer Bobby Moses adds cymbal-splashes of color.

And Swallow, the most venturesome composer of the group, wants to pursue such directions as those he charted in General Mojo Cuts Up, in which the players improvise over a five-minute mélange of taped music, then pile their instruments into another impressionistic fancy while the tape is repeating.
