As one of the foremost jazz bassists of the jazz-rock movement, Czechoslovakian-born Miroslav Vitous carved a niche as a much-in-demand and influential player in the 1960's and 1970's and was a founding member of the popular group, Weather Report. This original Atlantic album boasts a splendid line-up of the distinguished, including jazz legends Joe Henderson, John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, and Jack DeJohnette, with production by Herbie Mann. Highlights include the still-powerful "Mountain In The Clouds," "Freedom Jazz Dance," and "Infinite Search."

With John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, and Jack DeJohnette, this group rivaled the best fusion bands of the day. It must have been an intimidating challenge for a young Czech bassist to lead such a group on his debut album as a frontman, especially since he composed five of the six tracks. Recorded in late 1969, roughly the same time as the historic Bitches Brew, and the year before Vitous began a stint with the innovative Weather Report, this was trend-setting fusion. It's produced by Herbie Mann, for whom Vitous played on such albums as Memphis Underground and Stone Flute. ~ Mark Allan
