A wonderful fusion of jazz and R&B.
Released in 1981, this album was co-produced by himself and Ralph MacDonald. It went beyond the Jazz/Fusion albums that made it onto the Billboard Pop album charts and has been listened to widely.
The third track, "Be Mine (Tonight)," the sixth track, "Little Black Samba," and the fifth track, "Jamming," feature Grady Tate on vocals and are covers of Bob Marley songs.
