A rare gem from keyboardist Hubert Eaves, a virtuoso whose contributions to 70s soul jazz and jazz funk are legendary, finally stepping into the spotlight as a bandleader. This ses sion is nothing short of exceptional – a masterclass in soulful fusion that balances sweet, mellow textures with an effortlessly grooved sensibility. The ensemble is stellar: Mtume, John Lee, Reggie Lucas, Malachi Thompson, and Rene McLean bring their A-game, while Cheryl Alexander's vocals on "Under Standing" add an extra layer of warmth. The result is a laid-back yet sophisticated blend of funk and soul that rivals Bobby Lyle's finest work – essential listening for fusion devotees. Show more
