The first leader album by Jamaican-British multi-instrumentalist Courtney Pine, released in 1986. Pine gained worldwide fame with the huge hit "I'm Still Waiting" in 1990, and he had been active since the early 1980s with the reggae DJ duo Clint Eastwood & General Saint. This masterpiece elevates his original compositions and works by predecessors like Horace Silver and Wayne Shorter with his outstanding compositional, arranging, and performance skills, foreseeing a new era in jazz. The mellow jazz track B1 with an R&B flavor, featuring singer Julian Joseph, is a highlight. This is the original UK pressing.
B1: Children of the Ghetto
B2: When, Where, How and Why
