專輯詳細介紹歌曲清單 (0)

Before they recorded "Nothing but a Party", his fellow musicians sang "Happy Birthday to You"; Alphonse Mouzon celebrated his 29th birthday during the November 1977 MPS session in Stuttgart, Germany. The American drummer is one of the originators of jazz-rock, the fusion of jazz and rock music; "Incest is best" was German rocker Udo Lindenberg's comment on the coupling. No one had a better understanding of this melding of jazz polyrhythms with rock's pulsating beat than Mouzon; with his furious propulsive style, he was welcome in both camps. Weather Report founders Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, and Miroslav Vitous brought him into the premier edition of the band. Mouzon and bassist Vitous made up the rhythm section. From Prague, Czech, Miroslav had also played in Miles Davis' band. As he had already shown with Weather Report, he demonstrates how well he could integrate acoustic bass into a jazz-rock concept. In duo with Mouzon, Vitous bows the deep tones on his composition "The Light"; he grabs the electric bass on the other compositions. Vitous as well as saxophonist Bob Malik and keyboard player Stan Goldberg were all part of the 1977 version of Mouzon's touring band. Pianist/keyboarder Joachim Kühn and guitarist Philip Catherine joined the troupe for the recording of "In Search of a Dream". Thus, the session was a sort of summit meeting of the jazz-rock elite of that time."

鼓手亞風索•穆森深受注目，大致上始於1970年代初期加入Weather Report樂團期間。他不僅能駕馭繁複的節奏，同時還能讓困難的技巧變得順暢無比。1972年起Blue Note唱片公司轉型時期將他納入旗下，連續四張專輯獲得好評，而打開個人音樂生涯知名度。隨後他將觸角多方延伸：包括1991年與小號大師Miles Davis的電影配樂共同演奏；1992年，自己創立公司發行自己的錄音專輯；1996年由湯姆‧漢克執導的電影《擋不住的奇蹟》，飾演一位鼓手。2003年的電影《The Highlife》，他則飾演Miles Davis的角色。在音樂上，他更跨越領域為Stevie Wonder、Eric Clapton與Carlos Santana等流行與搖滾樂團與藝人合作演出。

本輯是1977年他到歐洲巡演期間受邀到德國斯圖特加與歐洲樂手聯演。錄音到最後一首音樂『Nothing But A Party』之前，樂手們共同為他唱生日快樂，慶祝29歲生日，並錄進音樂當中，也是一種特別的即興延伸演奏方法。專輯中『The Light』、『Nightmare』與『The Ram And The Scorpio』可以清楚聽到他掌握快速節奏的魅力；而『In Search Of A Dream』與『Shoreline』當中也可得知他抒情表現的面貌。而鑑盤手Joachim Kuhn、吉他手Philip Catherine與貝斯手Miroslav Vitous都是一時之選，也為這張「追求夢想」專輯留下重要紀錄。
