Those familiar with the progressive rock band Yes know of the many twists and turns throughout that band's history. One such turn involved lead singer Jon Anderson bringing together Yes alumni to record an album together while Yes was still somewhat active. This new band included drummer Bill Bruford, keyboardist Rick Wakeman, and guitarist Steve Howe. Additional musicians included bassist and Chapman stick player Tony Levin (who had worked with Bruford in King Crimson), keyboardist Matt Clifford, and rhythm guitarist Milton McDonald.
Some might describe this album as a return to the classic Yes style of the 1970s in some respects, not quite like the pop rock style that the band embraced in the 1980s. Of course, ABWH's self-titled album, released by Arista Records in 1989, was not a Yes album, despite some fans considering it one. Members have even said that they wanted to distinguish themselves from Yes. But it has, over the years, been included in Yes discography lists on the In a Word: Yes boxset, The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection, and even the YesWorld website. When ABWH tried recording a second album, the band ended up merging with the Yes that still included bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Trevor Rabin, drummer Alan White, and keyboardist Tony Kaye. The result was a Yes album called Union, which included a lot of session musicians and mixed results in the eyes of many fans. There were session musicians on ABWH's first album, but not to the extent of Union.
