Review:
This was Chicago trumpeter Frank Walton’s first release. He opens things up with a really funky fusion song called Safari that also appears on one of the Dusty Fingers compilations. The song has a great play between bass player Rudolph Penson and Joe Christian on the keys, with the horns as highlights. The rest of the album isn’t that impressive. You have bluesy jazz in Spongie, straight jazz in Waltz Of The Prophets, and some more fusion with Shorter’s Vibes, but nothing that matches the groove of Safari.
