Review:
Do yourself a favor, and buy this album you won’t be disappointed! The record is a gem all the way through a really unique mixture of LA soul jazz and African rhythms, with a sound that’s almost like Hugh Masekela sitting in with the Jazz Crusaders! Of course, there’s a lot of Jazz Crusaders in the set as Wilton Felder plays electric bass on the album, giving it a fantastic loping groove but there’s also plenty of unique albums on the record, especially its way of approaching the rhythms with a sly, syncopated groove that’s immediately infectious! Duke’s trumpet solos are great, and they’re augmented by tenor work by Chester Washington and trombone by George Bohannon all nicely grooving on the album’s brilliant blend of jazzy tracks.
