About

“aces in Reflection is a trio effort, featuring powerhouse drummer Leon Ndugu Chandler (Herbie Hancock, Stanley Turrentine, Santana) and bassist John Heard, a name not well-known but a voice often heard in the company of artists ranging from Duke and Ponty to Count Basie and Bobby Hutcherson. With an arsenal of keyboards including acoustic and electric piano, and an array of analogue synthesizers, Duke delivers a fusion album that, had it received major label release in North America, would have easily rivaled larger scale albums from his peers. "The Opening" kicks the disc off with full force, a simple enough structure but one that gives Duke the opportunity to demonstrate that, in a Spanish-tinged modal format, he was every bit the equal of Corea.” – All About Jazz
