I used to select albums based on the players listed on the back cover. This was one of those albums. Alphonso Johnson, Lee Ritenour, Grover Washington Jr., Ernie Watts, Phil Bailey, Diane Reeves, Shelia Escovedo, Jon Lucian, Ray Gomez, Ian Underwood, Ruth Underwood, Patrice Rushen, Chester Thompson, and more... Do musicians put this type of album together anymore? This CD has a couple of lighter disco-fusion type of songs - but '76 was the disco era - and if you were a CTI fan, you'll be satisfied. Pump up the bass and check out Jon Lucien on 'Show us the way'. Things start rockin a little more on tracks 5,6,7. HeY CDU - How about a copy of Duke's - 'I Love the Blues', 'The Aura Will Prevail', and some of his other Zappa alumus recordings?.
