Released in 1977, Bennie Maupin's second album as a leader (and first for Mercury) puts his time as part of the Headhunters on full display. The album is a satisfying blend of funk and darker textured moments supported by a solid band, including Patrice Rushen, Paul Jackson, Eddie Henderson and more. Verve By Request Series features 180g vinyl pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
