Eschewing the traditional jump blues motif that he is known for, Big Jay ventures into uncharted aural territory. Accompanied by The Engenius, here he finds himself sailing across pulsating basslines, relentless percussion, and synthesizers evoking images of an other-worldly dawn. Although one might assume such an excursion would be awkward, Mac is perfectly suited to his new surroundings, as if his half-century circumnavigation has finally led him back home. But here his old stomping-grounds have been transformed into a place worthy of such musical greatness.
