A work that combines sophistication and passion, symbolizing the golden age of fusion music in the late 1970s.
This ambitious work inherits the Crusaders' groove while exploring a more personal and spiritual world of sound.
While the sound is based on jazz funk, elements of Afro-rhythms, Brazilian music, and contemporary jazz are interwoven, and an interest in world music permeates the album as a whole.
