There’s a nod here to the French duo on the smooth disco-funk tune “Daft Funk,” but otherwise, East’s first solo album plays it straight to those who have avidly followed the musician’s career, from his earliest session work in the late ’70s through his albums with modern jazz group Fourplay.

NYDailyNews.com.
One player East couldn’t completely pin down was guitarist Metheny, who is a bit reticent about performing on albums, but he did East one better – he wrote him a song, “Letter From Home,” on which East practically channels Metheny’s spirit.

The San Diego Union-Tribune
“Yamaha started a record label and want me to pull 30 years of my life together and tell a (musical) story. They asked me to do a (diverse) Quincy Jones-style record, with friends and people I’ve played with over the years.”
