This disc seems to be bassist Dean Schmidt's recording debut as a leader, which focuses exclusively on original works with the support of a rotating cast. The music is a blend of fusion, smooth jazz, and Latin influences; as a result, few of the songs make much of an impression, ending up more like background music instead of jazz that leaves one wanting more. Best are the lively tunes like the salsa "I Know Nothing" and the Cuban-flavored "Eme Efe," though pedestrian tunes such as "Bebek," the dated fusion of "The Days of Guns and Roses," and the silly miniature vocal feature "Pop Star" (a duet for electric bass and a sped-up vocal) quickly wear out their welcome.(Review by Ken Dryden)
