This disc is a bit unusual in a few ways. Vibraphonist
Dave Pike sticks here exclusively to the marimba, while pianist
Herbie Hancock is heard throughout on organ, an instrument he rarely played again. The band also includes two trumpeters (most notably
Clark Terry who has a few short solos) and a rhythm section with guitarist
Billy Butler. Most of the music consists of obscurities and is open to the influences of the boogaloo and pop rhythms of the era; highlights include
Hancock's "Blind Man, Blind Man," "Sunny" and "Devilette." An interesting effort.
