This is an outstanding example of Funk-Jazz from the Funk Surgeon Eddie Henderson, which is a classic. This storming set features Eddie, as always on trumpet; Mtume, keyboards; Lee Ritenour, guitar; Paul Jackson, bass; Patrice Rushen, clavinet, string machine etc; EW&F’s Philip Bailey on percussion and Al McKay on guitar; plus a whole host of guest musicians. And if between them all they couldn’t create a classic Funk-Jazz set then we’d all better give up!
