This rendition of Herbie Hancock's "I Have a Dream" was arranged not by McKinley Jackson, but by myself, Onaje Allan Gumbs, featuring Eddie henderson on trumpet, Charles Meeks on bass, James Bradley on drums, Jerome Richardson on flute, Jean Carn on vocals and myself as arranger, conductor and keyboardist. I also arranged the song "Beijo Partido" from the same album. Thank you for posting this song on You Tube. It is one of my favorite arrangementsto have done - Onaje Allan Gumbs

vaguely reminds me of "Westchester Lady" by Bob James with "Star Trek" vocals...

This is the essence of loveliness...
