Jazzy soul all the way through – and a great little album from Lenny
White and the Twennynine combo – a group that features some especially great keyboards from the great Don
Blackman! The style here's a bit like some of
Blackman's own work – rooted in fusion, but focused towards soul – with vocals on all tracks, but lots of tightly crafted riffs and grooves underneath! Keyboards and guitars are in the forefront on top of Lenny
White's drums – but tunes also feature some EWF horn work, and an occasional vocal chorus arranged by
Blackman, and featuring Dee Dee Bridgewater and Googie Coppola! Tracks include the classic 80s groover "Peanut Butter", plus "Tropical Nights", "Best Of Friends", "Take Me Or Leave Me", "Citi Dancin", and "Betta".
