The personnel listing is confusing (and inexcusably leaves off the name of tenor-saxophonist Jim Pepper). The music, which ranges from basic blues to early fusion and only clocks in at around 31 minutes, also features organist Mike Mandel and several rhythm sections. Fans of guitarist Larry Coryell (a fusion pioneer) may find some moments of interest here. ~ Scott Yanow","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47604762771743,"sku":"664140793729","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9b199e3cc3458a0e2de41274720d1b9d_f87aba31-3245-499c-9312-33a0cd5ecfa6.jpg?v=1777657973","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/basics-1968-1969","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
