Sweet dreamer (Lenny White) (LP 2576)

Lenny White  Big City (Vinyl, Nemperor Records, 1977) ***  

GenreJazz fusion; Nemperor Records 

Places I remember: Real Groovy Records

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Dreams Come And Go Away

Gear costume: Big City

Active compensatory factors: This is Lenny's second and final album on Nemperor Records (the awesome Venusian Summer was the first).

This one is more eclectic, flutes and strings appear and it even has a song (Sweet Dreamer) with vocals by guest - Linda Tillery. It begins each side with a hefty slice of fusion and a live track, And We Meet Again, rounds out a slightly inconsistent album. 

The musicianship is first class, with guests like Neal Shon, Herbie Hancock, Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, Jerry Goodman, Jan Hammer and Marcus Miller all appearing on various tracks.

Where do they all belong? That's it for Lenny but loads more obscure things to collect on Nemperor Records.
