A monumental example of "Hino Fusion" that conveys the heat of the New York scene in the early '80s.
Includes "Otis," a song dedicated to Otis Redding (the legendary R&B singer).
A young Kenny Kirkland participates on keyboards and arrangements, and the horn section also includes Michael Brecker and Tom Malone.
