This much-loved album is pure ‘70s cosmic jazz-funk at its most stellar. Features the mysterious 'Compliments Of A Friend' on guitar. Considering Smith was part of George Benson’s quartet in the ‘60s, that veil appears to have been lifted on who this ‘friend’ might be. However due to contractual reasons, Benson had to remain covert for this recording. The lineup doesn’t stop there though, with legendary bassist Ron Carter and award winning saxophonist Joe Lovano joining the outfit.
