More jazz-oriented music is featured on this ensemble recording including Isham's muted trumpet over a dense and percussive backdrop from longtime Isham sidemen David Torn, Peter Maunu and Patrick O'Hearn, plus Paul McCandless, Terry Bozzio, and Mick Karn. The sweeping strings and classical guitar on &My Wife with Champagne Shoulders& and the evocative &A Dream of Three Acrobats& are highlights.
