This Stanley Clarke plate is by no means only for bassists. Actually, they should not be called "Stanley Clarke & Friends", because they do not do really feel that one of the chief in the ring. These are five equal top musicians, making music together. Usually I'm with live recordings rather cautious, but this record has clearly deserves the five stars. For every taste is catered for: Whether "Stratus" or "School Days" with rock bonds, or the Miles Davis classic "All Blues" in the Stanley Clarke presents his skills as a bassist demonstrated. No matter what mood you are, you can always find really a suitable piece. In "Her Favorite Song" Larry Carlton then shows that he can also play guitar perfectly undistorted. Each musician brings to this gig his personal sound, and the result is stunning. The respective solos are really good. Otherwise, the recording quality is very compelling. Really really highly recommended for any music fan.
