Joey Baron draws from a wide variety of experiences in terms of playing and composition. Throw in his southern roots and the talents of alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe, bassist Ron Carter, and guitarist Bill Frisell--who reconcile their musical differences with ease--and you get a set that uniquely grooves from start to finish. The focus is funky blues for the most part, with the tunes (all Baron's) ranging from sophisticated amalgamations of down-home and up-town elements ("Mighty Fine") to simple vamps ("Wide Load," "What"). Baron's exacting drumming provides a focal point, ensuring that his eclectic vision becomes a funky reality.
