Genre: Jazz fusion
Places I remember: Second hand store between Palmerston North and Whanganui - can't remember its name, sorry.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Texas Ann
Gear costume: Brothers and Others
Active compensatory factors: Allmusic reviewer Thom Jurek reckons, 'Beck is essential listening for anyone interested in mid-'70s commercial jazz. The chops are there, but far more than that, Beck leads a band into a soul-deep blowing session with killer charts, nasty tunes, and killer vibes'.
So there!
Over the years, I've noticed this one in album racks and wondered about it. To be honest the weird cover image by Abdul Mati Klarwein has kind of put me off a bit in the past but I took a punt on it recently because it's a mid seventies fusion album with David Sanborn on sax and Steve Khan on guitar along with Beck.
All are fine players and the music rates high on the listenability-metre as a result.
Where do they all belong? As Jurek says, it fits in the mid seventies commercial fusion genre nicely.
