Listener Reviews & Comments
All right, the time was the mid-70s, and the world was cool. None of this Iraq stuff, just post-groovy tunes emanating from the '60s. Ramsey played off of them, and he knew who to hook up with at the time. Who were these cool cats? How about Maurice and Verdine White of Earth, Wind, and Fire? How about Charles Stepney? How about Derf Reklaw Raheem, who plays flute on this CD (on "Aufu Oodu")? How about slick production by Teo Macero and the hep cats at CBS Records before the House of Sony took it over? Some mighty groovy times. Stevie was still cuttin' records, and all was cool and funky. Who didn't dig "Brazilica" at that time? You'll find some definite EWF vocals (Philip Bailey?) on that tune - well constructed with a steady beat. What a groovy bass line! Nice, Verdine! The rest of the CD is lavishly produced. This was the last one made of that genre by Ramsey and Crew. After that, well, I guess it was the Reagan Years. Enough said on that. This CD was only available as a Japanese import for the longest time - expensive, too. Cut back the crud of thirty years of time, and relive some magical moments with Ramsey and the hep cat crew of EWF and friends. Salongo, Ramsey!
