I'd held back from buying this CD even though the concept is one I very much like and bought it almost on a whim along with other items. My major reason is that I prefer Husband's piano-playing to his drumming and I'm aware of his love of the original music, first with Force Majeure and then with his direct involvement with McLaughlin on 4th Dimension.

On listening I was very pleasantly surprised indeed. The interpretations weren't mere copies of the originals (that would be impossible) nor just restatements of the themes, but a very personal interpretation that hints strongly enough at the originals while taking it to an original destination.

jfderry's review is actually excellent, including many things I don't have the vocabulary to describe. Much to my own surprise I'm glad to recommend this album very highly.
