2003 4-track instrumental release on the NPG label featuring Prince with Rhonda, Renato and John, together with Eric Leeds and some string arrangement by Clare Fischer.

It was made available to NPGMC members one month before going to retail.

It can be purchased through the official website, as well as through online and store outlets.

It depends on your taste, what you make of it. I think it was a well done jazz record.

Yes, it's an instrumental jazz fushion album, containing 4 tracks, each track 14 minutes long.

It's about vaginas.

It was nominated for a Grammy last year for best instrumental (didn't win). My favorite song on it is East.

why do ppl call it a jazz album? there's not a stitch of jazz on it. just cuz it's an instrumental album, folks are calling it jazz.

it has more funk and rock than any jazz in my opinion.

Run! Run far away and hug your Purple Rain album extra tight!

It's a dull album of 4 glorified 15 minute band rehearsals.
