This 1991 recording brings in the front line of the group Human Feel (Andrew D'Angelo and Chris Speed) along with bassist Chris Wood and Schaphorst Band stalwards John Medeski and trombonist Josh Roseman, for more originals and new arrangements of Ellington's "Warm Valley" and Ray Charles' "Rockhouse."

"The band is [Schaphorst's] instrument. That truism is as true here as it gets, since he cannily exploits the colors of his 18-piece group with a ferocious energy and an offbeat ear that will periodically turn you on yours just as Mingus meant to."
Gene Santoro, Pulse
