Album Notes & Community Reviews

Saxophonist Gary Bartz teamed with the Mizell Brothers for the heavily synthesized, groove-laden 'The Shadow Do'. The album represents a distinct departure from his intense, post-bop roots, favoring highly accessible jazz-funk and proto-smooth jazz atmospheres designed for the commercial crossover market.
