This album was released in 1979 by American saxophonist Joe Farrell, who played on Chick Corea's 1972 ECM classic "Return to Forever" and later made a name for himself with the group of the same name formed by Corea. Quartet with Chick Corea (p,el-p), Bob Magnusson (b), Lawrence Mrable (ds). This album is a departure from the fusion heard around collaboration with George Benson, The Jeff Lober Fusion and the album "Night Dancing", which is typical bebop and hard bop, but very well played. The best of these are A2, which incorporates Brazilian rhythms and features a cool solo with Corea's electric piano, and B3, which swings nimbly in unison with Corea's electric piano.
There is a slight off-center on side A, but the effect on the playback sound is negligible.
A2: Cliche Romance
B3: Bara-Bara
