In between the very accessible bookends of Catta and Ghetto Lights is a stunning variety of textures and approaches. It all comes together to make a great album of multifarious complementary parts. Although Hutcherson is the bandleader for this session, he didn't write any of the songs. Although Hill wrote most of the songs, he never takes a solo. Hill eschews doing any real soloing for the whole album. Even in the free improv he's content to supply foundation patterns. If you want to hear Hill take a solo, you have to go to the outtake from the same session, Jasper, included on some reissues.
