Recorded in 1977, this album can be listened to over and over without tiring of it - always a joy. The team at Warner Bros. have produced a superb sound recording, and David "Fathead" Newman is joined by tip top group of musicians - a very tight rhythm section. All tracks are entertaining with nothing to throw away. There is not much in the way of liner notes, but the music doesn't truly require any waffly reviewer to dampen its appeal. In the end, any Jazz-Funk enthusiast will be enthralled!
