The album's no breakout for the Pointer Sisters, as the trio were already at the top of the charts when the set was released – but the whole thing does find a great way to keep the grooves coming in the group's lasting relationship with producer Richard Perry!

The only LP from this First Priority family member who released a couple of nice tracks as singles on the label, especially his duets with MC Lyte.

The scene may be changing, but nothing can dampen the fire of the great Bud Powell – and, if anything, this fifth installment in Blue Note's "Amazing" series may well have the pianist at his mature best!

One of the few Bud Powell sessions cut for RCA, but a brilliantly swinging date that has the pianist working at the height of his powers!

One of Billy's best, and it's got a hard wailing raw groove that's missing from a lot of his later work!
