Album Notes & Community Reviews
The highly adaptable jazz flautist traveled to Alabama to record with the legendary Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. The incredibly tight sessions effortlessly fuse his fluid jazz improvisations with deeply syncopated, distinctly Southern funk and soul backdrops. It stands as a brilliant, highly accessible crossover success from his extraordinarily prolific recording era.
