3 stars Ex-Return To Forever drummer's album is very groovy and pleasant one. Larry Dunn ,keyboard player and producer (and Earth, Wind and Fire musician as well), brings his funky r'n'b sound to all songs.

It's interesting, that instrumental compositions all are jazz-rock fusion, with heavy, almost aggressive guitar. But all vocal numbers are r'n'b ( and not the bad one: Chaka Khan and Diane Reeves both are presented on vocals).

Post- RTF Lenny White solo career is often a mixed bag, with long list of commercial releases. But even if not his best solo work, this album really can attract fusion fan. If you are not afraid of some r'n'b in your music.

Overall, quite different album, never boring, combining very quality moments from jazz-rock, funk and r'n'b scenes, but very energetic, groovy.( Contains The Beatles "Lady Madonna" cover).Musicianship is of the high level..

Possibly, more album for funk and r'n'b fans, could be in partial interest of jazz-rock fusion listeners as well.
