On His Second Solo Album Following His First By Nine Years Bass Player Victor Bailey Is Quick To Acknowledge His Horoes "Graham Cracker " With Its Funky Plucked Bass Notes Is A Tribute To Larry Graham While "Continuum " A Tune By Jaco Pastorius Bailey´s Predecessor In Weather Report Is Given A Vocalese Lyric Written And Sung By Bailey And Turned Into "Do You Know Who " Which Contains Lines Like "Boy When I First Heard Jaco Play/I´ve Got To Admit I Was Blown Away." Beyond These Overt Homages However Bailey Doesn´t Really Betray Much Of Their Influence In His Playing Or Original Tunes. More Often As A Player He Recalls A Third Hero Stanley Clarke While His Compositions And Their Jazz Fusion Arrangements Usually Sound Like They Could Fit In Easily On One Of The Albums He Made With Weather Report. The Presence On Four Tracks Of Drummer Omar Hakim His Partner In The Weather Report Rhythm Section Doesn´t Hurt. In His Press Biography Bailey Complains That He Wasn´t Able To Record Solo For Almost A Decade Because Record Companies Either Wanted "straight-Ahead" Or "smooth" Jazz And It Wasn´t Until He Ran Into Zebra Records That He Was Allowed To "just Play My Bass And Record The Music I Wanted To Record." That Music Turns Out To Sound Like The Fusion Style Popular In The 1970s Anf ´80s.
