Steps Ahead	Yin-Yang
	Originally called Steps when it was formed in 1979 by vibraphonist Mike Mainieri, this group at various times has included tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker, keyboardists Don Grolnick, Eliane Elias and Rachel Z, guitarist Mike Stern, bassists Eddie Gomez and Darryl Jones and drummers Peter Erskine and Steve Smith among others. Its music combines advanced jazz, R&B, rock and fusion and is frequently exciting. Steps Ahead was most active during 1979-86 although still existed on a part-time basis in the mid-'90s. -- Scott Yanow $ 11.95 + s/h
