A rare bit of jazz-funk from
the superlative saxophonist Robin Kenyatta. Released on an obscure label Robin
is joined by a diverse array of personnel including the likes of Lew Soloff, Cornell
Dupree, Dom Salvador, David Eubanks with some beautifully crafted playing and
arrangements by Pat Coil and Masao Nakajima. Included are some colourful vocalists
and even a tap dancer doing his stuff in the background. Enjoy this hard to
procure LP.
