Miroslav Vitous (b); Joe Henderson (ts); John McLaughlin (g); Herbie Hancock (p); Jack DeJohnette, Joe Chambers (dr)
With John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Joe
Henderson, and Jack DeJohnette, this group rivaled
the best fusion bands of the day. It must have
been an intimidating challenge for a young Czech
bassist to lead such a group on his debut album as
a frontman, especially since he composed five of
the six tracks. Recorded in late 1969, roughly the
same time as the historic 'Bitches Brew', and the
year before Vitous began a stint with the
innovative Weather Report, this was trend-setting
fusion. It's produced by Herbie Mann, for whom
Vitous played on such albums as 'Memphis
Underground' and 'Stone Flute'.

Miroslav's first album; superb even in the 21st
century. If you are interested in finding out
about the beginnings of 'jazz-rock fusion' this
record is absolutely crucial. DeJohnette and
Mclaughlin both had something to prove at the time
and it shows. Vitous had won a scholarship to
Boston's Berklee school of music but on this
evidence, he didn't need it at all and probably
scared the heck out of the teaching staff before
he left to go with Herbie Mann, the occasional
Miles gig, and the album sessions with Shorter and
Zawinul that led to Weather Report. A brilliant
and influential debut from a prodigious talent;
buy this one!
