The album presents just three lengthy tracks, two of which are original compositions by Silver and one is by Weldon IrwineFind albums by this artist. The music was recorded at the legendary Jazz Workshop in Boston, MA on March 27th, 1973 and broadcasted on the radio, which means that the sound quality is not perfect, but definitely acceptable.
The music is typical amalgam of Jazz, Soul and Funk, which characterized Silver’s music at the time and the presence of the Brecker brothers and Lee, who would soon after form The Brecker Brothers group adds a strong Fusion tinge, which makes the music particularly interesting. The lengthy tracks offer a perfect platform for all five musicians to solo extensively.
Overall, this is a piece of American Jazz history, which documents some of its key figures at the period when the Fusion was developing rapidly and offers superb soloing by these young musicians under the wings of the experienced leader.
