    I was 19 years old when I heard this record in 77, I wore the grooves off of it. It was the first BJ record I learned to play, I thought it was such a beautiful mix of a groove. I am a Chicago kid but this has the NYC thing on it. I can not say enough about the composition and arranging of the Professor BJ aka Mr. Bob James. My fave musician in the whole wide world, bar none! Smooth jazz my ass, this man goes hard! And David Sanborn and Eric Gale...they worked this joint. Oh and I think Stevie Gadd kept that pocket tight and right.

    Con razón, me pareció muy familiar y nostálgico este hermoso sonido: es de 1977.
    Se utilizó mucho en las llamadas tandas publicitarias, de finales de los 70 y hasta mediados de los 80 en los diversos canales de televisión acá en Chile.
    Las tandas publicitarias, fueron breves anuncios de no más de 20 segundos, acompañadas de hermosas notas musicales de trabajos clásicos de Bob James, Herbie Hanckock, Pat Metheny, Jean Luc-Ponty, Chic Corea...
    Me traen bellos recuerdos de juventud.
