I liked this group back when I first heard them in 1983 on Mirage à Trois, but then they started a slow transition from synth-based smooth pop/jazz to either saxophone-based fusion or straight-ahead neo-bop. The critics as well as the band's hardcore fans loved it. Me? Well, it's good for what it is and I enjoy a song when it should happen to come around on a shuffle, but that doesn't keep me from yearning for the group's early sound.
Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: Did not chart

Tracks: My picks from this disc are My Old School and Dewey (for Miles). Not a fan of Sueños.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: I picked this disc up as a part of a CD lot of jazz music I bought on eBay way back when.
