One of the grooviest soundtracks ever served up by Sandro Brugnolini – an Italian soundtrack artist who first started in jazz, but who here is really taking on some of the cooler, more upbeat modes of some of his 60s contemporaries! Some of the best cuts have a romping, organ-heavy sound – and a few others have vocals, all stepping over some cool jerk/shake grooves that make the whole thing a romping little ride, even before the vocals come into the mix! A few other cuts have a mellower vibe, but are still pretty groovy – and in addition to a few lyrical numbers, the rest of the set is instrumental – with titles that include "Fantabulous", "Op", "I've Glimpsed At You", "Cup", "Rhythm", and "Susp".

A warm set of groovers from Flip Nunez – a San Francisco-based pianist with a great Latin tinge, working here in a fantastic setting that makes for one of his greatest recordings! The album was recorded in SF in 1976, and it's got the laidback groove of some of the best sides coming from the area at the time – a sweet blend of fusion, Latin, and modal jazz grooving. Nunez plays electric piano, clavinet, piano, and organ – and a few tracks feature his vocals, which have a confident style that's somewhere between Mark Murphy and Tony Benett (in his jazzier mode.) The centerpiece of the album is a long mellow-grooving version of "See You Later", a tune that Flip wrote, and which has been covered on a number of other jazz dance classics over the years – but the album's filled with great tunes, like "D'ju Like Me", "This Time For Good", "Why Did You Come Into My Life", and "Mr Cool", a sweet little funky tune!
