Prophetz of Time and Space.

Jerry Goodman(Mahavishnu, Dixie Dregs), Ndugu Chancler (George Duke, Joe Zawinul), Brandon Fields are the mainstays, there are personnel changes from earlier albums, IMHO the best one is the latest, Vibrationz. Some interesting odd-meter fusion work on the last three cuts; one is in 22/8, 8-and-a-half/4 and 5/4, one is 15/4 and the other in 5. Plus some great grooves throughout, thanks to the rest of the players - Munyungo Jackson on percussion, Otmaro Ruiz, piano and Rhodes, Tadashi Namba on synths and Steve Vasco on bass.

If you prefer live, the previous album was recorded at Club Jazz Nouveau in San Fran, but while the performances were excellent, the sound and mix really suck.
