Although a bit streaky, this is one of Tom Scott's better recordings of the 1980s. A live set with guitaristsEric Gale(whose bluesy playing is a strong asset) andHugh McCracken, keyboardistRichard Tee, electric bassistMarcus Miller, drummerSteve Gaddand percussionistRalph MacDonald, Scott sounds fine when playing tenor, although his decision to use the anonymous-sounding lyricon on some numbers is a mistake. Also on the minus side areDr. John'scameo appearance singing So White and So Funky, the repertoire in general (which includes four forgettable Scott originals), and some of the less imaginative rhythms.
