Additional information
Personnel includes: Bob James (keyboards); Grover Washington Jr. (soprano saxophone); Jon Faddis, Thad Jones (trumpet, flugelhorn); Hugh McCracken (harmonica); Dave Friedman (vibraphone); Rickie Resnicoff (guitar); Eric Weissberg (pedal steel guitar); Gary King (bass); Steve Gadd, Idris Muhammad (drums); Ralph MacDonald (percussion). Recorded at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Bob James' first recording for his Tappan Zee label is typically lightweight. Although Grover Washington, Jr. has two spots on soprano, and trumpeter Jon Faddis is in the brass section, James' dated Fender Rhodes keyboard is the lead voice throughout the six pieces, which include two adaptations of classical works. Only a lightly funky version of "Feel Like Making Love" rises above the level of pleasant background music. ~ Scott Yanow
