This combination works quite well. Poppish keyboardist/arranger
Bob James joins with electric bassist
Marcus Miller, drummer
Steve Gadd, guitarist
Paul Jackson, percussionist
Paulinho da Costa, and (on two songs) guitarist
Eric Gale to accompany the distinctive and always soulful altoist
David Sanborn.
Sanborn caresses the strong melodies, mostly originals by
James and
Miller, and plays well with guest vocalist
Al Jarreau on "Since I Fell for You." One of the best recordings ever released under
James' name (
Sanborn gets co-billing) and a big seller. ~ Scott Yanow
