Performer Notes

Personnel: Eddie Gomez (bass); Rick Margitza (tenor & soprano saxophones); Jeremy Steig (flute); James Williams (piano); Chick Corea (synthesizer, piano); Lenny White (drums).
Recorded at Skyline Studios, New York.
All songs written by Eddie Gomez or Chick Corea except "Dreaming Of You" (Dan Wall/Carol Veto) and "Tenderly" (Jack Lawrence/Walter Gross).
Bassist Eddie Gomez is better as a sideman than as a leader on recording dates, but this is one of his stronger efforts in the latter category (even if one has to get used to him taking or sharing virtually all of the melodies). Chick Corea sticks exclusively to an atmospheric synthesizer, but otherwise this is a fairly straight-ahead quintet session featuring Gomez with the Coltrane-ish tenor of Rick Margitza, pianist James Williams, drummer Lenny White, and a guest appearance from flutist Jeremy Steig. ~ Scott Yanow

Professional Reviews

Down Beat (9/93, p.47) - 3 Stars - Good - "...NEXT FUTURE offers seductive melodies, gently swaying rhythms, and Rick Margitza's glossy sax, but strictly avoids any grit or dissolution..."
