    has anyone ever figured what are we exactly looking at in the cover picture? it looks like a painting (or a collage perhaps) even though the liner notes list it as a photograph, the machine thingy vaguely resembles a plane of sorts (sky dive, yeah) but its mirrored? and its actually not: it has an inscription on its left 'tail' (down left on the front cover) which is not present on its opposite. i know its Pete Turner but this is one of the most abstract designs i've seen of his, can't quite wrap my head around it...

      My goodness the lineup on this album... How can you not buy it just from reading the feature list on the cover? What I love about Freddie and his 70's (especially CTI) work is the way he let the fantastic cast around him shine. Yes it's a Freddie Hubbard album, his trumpet is front and center frequently, but you also get extended solos; example: Hubert Laws and George Benson. Obviously there's moments when Billy Cobham steals the show (thankfully), and others where Ron Carter's bass groove is nearly hypnotizing.
      Simply put, this is everything to love about early 70's CTI.

        Track A1 is about as good as jazz-funk gets. Really love the incredibly funky Ron Carter bass line. Stellar solos from both Hubbard and Benson. Tracks A2 and B1 are forgettable which is why this is rated down from 5/5. Have always loved the packaging of these earlier CTI releases (up until 1973 or so). Nice heavyweight laminated gatefold jackets with inspiring cover artwork. Also some fantastic music intermixed in those releases. Certainly some that stand up to the best recordings Blue Note or some of the other more collectible jazz labels were doing around the time although tending to tighter arrangements
