Spanning a huge variety of changes, this set starts with calypso-influenced 78s from the 50s (like the wonderful novelty about getting girls in the city 'Taxi Driver'). And it goes all the way through lots of cleanly picked electric guitar ensembles with horns to a few post-Cream wah experiments. Not everybody is stylistically typical either. Cardinal Rex Lawson croons so tenderly, but his airy trumpet playing is as wet and convoluted as 70s Miles.
