Yeah, this is a great album. Oddly enough, I was listening to his 'Streamline' earlier today. Which was released about three or four years later.

Lamont deserves so much more love and visibility. Filthy bass part and solo.

 Talking of Smooth Jazz, BB...

I didn't realise that Welton Felder/Joe Sample and Marcus did a version of 'Maputo'.

A Marcus tune, of course, originally recorded with Sanborn and Bob James.

That is great. I've always loved this pretty raw version by The Big Apple Band (Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards pre chic)
