The album features a truly all-star line-up. Gibbs is joined by his Thrasher Dream Trio mates – Kenny Barron and Ron Carter – and special guests Roy Hargrove and Cassandra Wilson on several tracks.

The album opens with the upbeat standard “Wives and Lovers,” a song that allows Barron to really stretch out. It’s one of several songs on the album penned by legendary composer Burt Bacharach.

Wilson’s vocals on Bacharach’s “The Look of Love” are delightfully menacing – the tune is anchored by Carter’s bass and Gibbs’s drums. Her brooding take is also dominant on “Alfie” and “Watch What Happens,” although the mood improves on the latter. Wilson clearly enjoyed the opportunity to play with the band, noting in the liner notes “With Barron and Carter, they can call me for a gig at the Blue Igloo in Antarctica.”
