An album released in 1972 by Pete Robinson, an American pianist who has worked as a session musician in the groups of Don Ellis, Shelly Manne, Freddie Hubbard, and Phil Woods, as well as for TV and video productions. It features Ernie Watts, Alan Praskin, and Charles Orena. As the title suggests, the album features Robinson's piano and reeds by guest musicians in a duo or trio setting. The style is diverse, but the most interesting tracks are the experimental ones, such as B2, with its synth bass and percussion effects, and B5, with its synthesizer overdubs on the vocals through a melodic pickup. It is simular to George Lewis and Douglas Ewart's work on Black Saint.
