Editorial Reviews
From Jazziz
What a shame that Wilton Felder and Wayne Henderson didn't have enough confidence in their legendary trombone/ sax chemistry to feature it in the forefront more. Instead, they relegate themselves to supporting overtly commercial and super-cheesy vocals.
On "Keep That Same Old Feeling," they tarnish a sharp horn trade-off with a pointless vocal refrain that reminds us we're "jamming with the Jazz Crusaders." Henderson himself hurts a hip new arrangement of "(You've Got) Personality" by singing the lead himself, while "Party Joint" wastes an effective marching-brass sound with a repetitive vocal line that sounds more like a bad '70s funk record. And how could even two legends expect us to take Muzaky covers of classic bubblegum-pop hits like "Mmm Bop" and "Gloria" seriously?
But there is good news amidst the miscalculations - four picture-perfect smooth-jazz/funk gems function here as a welcomed oasis. On "Egyptian Nites," Felder's George Howard-like silky soprano weaves in and out of Henderson's easygoing trombone lines, Giovanni Guido's slick electric-guitar lines, and crunchy retro-R&B grooves. Henderson and Felder combine on "Southern Hospitality" and "Turn on the Red Light" for a playful big-band sound over thick throbbing synth-bass lines and bluesy key riffs by Bill Steinway. And while "La Salsa de la Funk" features a few too many spacey synth sounds, the vibrant Latin rhythms and catchy dual-horn melody keep it memorable.
