A1 Didn't We 3:07 - A2 Lo-Slo-Bluze 6:45 - A3 Put It All Togetha 3:45 - A4 Complicity 8:15 B1 Chicago Light Green 2:46 - B2 No Escaping It 6:05 - B3 Milan Is Love 5:05 - B4 Funk-A-De-Mama 5:34 AllMusic: "a fusion masterpiece that features a nodding acoustic bass solo from White, while Barron contributes on piano, playing some rapid, dancing chords, and gets into a cutting contest with Cobham's bombastic drumming. "No Escaping It" has a large ensemble sound, and while not immediately entrancing, its fluid changes and many solos, (including a ringing guitar trip by Brown) makes it special. The most romantic cut is "Milan Is Love," where Owens' caressing trumpeting shows that sentimentality can have an edge and still be sweet. The humorous "Funk-A-De-Mama" is what the title infers and then some". "5*/5. No escaping it !!! 1st debut from warm tone trumpeter Jimmy Owens . Recorded with joy and happiness with cool quartet line up ; Kenny Barron ( piano, rhodes ) , Chris White ( bass ) , Billy Cobham ( drums ). How could you escape from this groovilicious cause and effect musical jam session ?!" AllMusic user.
