The funky grooves he uses on this CD sound like a continuation of Davis' later band, Michael \"Patches\" Stewart contributes muted trumpet in Davis' style, altoist Kenny Garrett is among Miller's sidemen, and Miles Davis himself (along with the voices of several other notables in very brief moments) pops up twice on Miller's release.\"[2]
