Superb groove from a master of funky jazz
A masterpiece of the 70s fusion scene, woven together by members of the staff led by Richard Tee.
The album features a superb ensemble with Eric Gale on guitar and Chuck Rainey on bass, centered around Tee's ingenious keyboard work. As the title "Strokin'" suggests, the high level of technique displayed by the technicians on each instrument is impressive, and the album is packed with outstanding performances that allow you to fully appreciate their abilities as studio musicians.
