Drummer Cindy Blackman's tribute to the seminal Tony Williams Lifetime electric fusion band is loaded with interesting portrayals from different aspects without abject copying of the music that made the band a pioneering pivot point in modern music. New material is sprinkled in with several familiar themes or variations, with Blackman not so much pounding and flailing à la Williams as directing and focusing the power. Electric guitarist Mike Stern is the perfect choice to play the role of John McLaughlin, while organist Doug Carn grew up around this band, and under the influence of Larry Young, so together they are perfect fits. This base band plays three different takes of Carla Bley's "Vashkar," which was a signature composition of the first Lifetime band. The "straight" version is ultra-heavy, brash, and loud, with Stern's snarly guitar acting as a huffing, puffing locomotive engine, well done compared to the original.

Cindy Blackman's debut as a leader finds the talented drummer showing a great deal of confidence and holding her own with her illustrious sidemen: trumpeter Wallace Roney, either altoist Kenny Garrett or (on two songs) tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Larry Willis, and Buster Williams or Clarence Seay on bass. The music (which includes an unaccompanied drum solo by Blackman on "Incindyary") is modern hard bop, and all of the musicians play up to par in their concise solos; Blackman, Willis, Williams and Henderson ("Teeter Totter") provided all of the songs. A strong start to Cindy Blackman's productive recording career.
