Description:

180g audiophile vinyl reissue, mastered by Kevin Gray at Acoustech Lacquers plated by RTI, pressed by Pallas.

This gem of an album from Ramon Morris, and one of the hardest to find on Groove Merchant, was recorded during what many people would consider to be the classic period for this particular brand of jazz/funk/soul/fusion.
It was recorded not long after he’d spent time with Art Blakey as a Jazz Messenger appearing on his 1972 Prestige album Child’s Dance along with Stanley Clarke and Woody Shaw.
He then also recorded on the Woody Shaw album, also from 1972, Song Of Songs.He now teaches at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa.

One of the rarest and best albums on Groove Merchant now available re-mastered on 180 gram vinyl.

Personnel: Ramon Morris: tenor saxophone/Albert Dailey: electric piano/Mickey Bass: bass/Mickey Roker: drums/Cecil Bridgewater: trumpet/Lloyd Davis: guitar/Tony Waters: congos
