Title: Lee's Best Era
Product review: This LP along with Captain Fingers, and The Captain's Journey show Lee when he was really 'going for it'. It was incredible to see him do this stuff live with Don Grusin in 1981 backed by Crossfire. Hey, I understand a guy's gotta eat and art for art's sake can't always feed you, but the Smooth Jazz stuff with Grusin/Fourplay/Larry Carlton/GRP is boring elevator music where all that naughty spontaneity/creativity/risk taking has been sanitised out to protect the chicken :-) Just the ticket when you're mowing the lawn maybe and want some 'background music'. If you've only heard Rit after the early 80s do yourself a favour and do some research.
