The Winter & Winter reissue of ON THE EDGE OF TOMORROW contains all the original artwork from the LP release and is packaged in a CD-Smart-Pac (a hard-backed slipcase).
Digitally remastered by Adrian Von Ripka (Bauer Studios, Ludwigsburg, Germany).
Steve Coleman's second recording as a leader introduces his M-Base music in its prime. Essentially creative and avant-garde funk, the performances feature dense but coherent ensembles and crowded grooves. The altoist is teamed up with trumpeter Graham Haynes, Geri Allen (on synthesizer), guitarist Kelvyn Bell, electric bassist Kevin Bruce Harris, both Marvin "Smitty" Smith and Mark Johnson on drums and percussion, and the up and coming singer Cassandra Wilson. Not for everyone's taste, this frequently exciting set hints at a future that has not yet come. ~ Scott Yanow
