Songs

The song The Weasel Goes Out to Lunch is an arrangement of the traditional song Pop Goes the Weasel but adapted with dissonant harmony suggesting a style of Avant-garde jazz inspired by the 1964 album Out to Lunch! by Eric Dolphy.

Allmusic[4]

The Allmusic review by Steve Loewy stated: "The tunes alternate between jazz-rock (a style the Brecker Brothers were later to successfully exploit) and modern mainstream jazz. There are the customary fades, popular at the time, and a light, though constant, beat throughout that makes the music both accessible and even danceable, an impressive feat considering that virtually all the tunes are originals. ... With well-constructed arrangements, strong soloing, and catchy melodies, Brecker knew he was onto something, and this album was the first of several successful ventures".[4]
