...Group’s sound has a nice thickness and weight to it, guitars and bass frequently aligning along parallel octaves. “The Gathering Sky” for example, a cantering afro-calypso number, is less restrained live than on the album and revels in its own pure happiness. After shifting through three melodic themes, drummer Antonio Sanchez took a solo and built towards a frenetic climax where, with eyes closed, you would swear at least three or four percussionists were playing simultaneously.

On the left side of the stage is the field, with a black tree standing against a black background interrupted only by wisps of white cotton, while on the right is the bedroom, drowned in a pure, virginal white countered by the black bed frame...
