Audio-Visualscapes

The New York Times called the album "raw and tumultuous, hardly the work of someone settling into an easy middle age of refinement." The Boston Globe and The San Diego Union-Tribune considered it one of the best jazz albums of 1988. The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "This single-CD (formerly a double-LP) from Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition contains music that mixes together advanced hard bop, fusion, M-Base funk and avant-garde jazz... The results are sometimes unsettling but rarely dull, well worth several listens." == Track listing ==
