The title cut - yet MORE Bossa-style noodlings by GG & friends!!! Elvin Jones definitely is a "background" sound, on these cuts - gently tapping his cymbals & set, as only he could. It takes great self-control to play with some restraint (something which Mr. Rich, for a rather LOUD example, never seemed to learn).

Fantastic solo by Bobby-Hutch here, too! And, Grant take a couple-a excellent turns in the solo seat!

Great LP, Roger - thanks for posting yet another gem!!!

I like Larry and Bobby who make a great background sound.
