Herbie Hancock in his best 80s electric mode – not just working in the style of his electro-influenced hit "Rockit" – but also stretching things out a bit more in a live setting too! The lineup here features all the key elements that made this criss-crossing of cultures such a key point in Herbie's career – with the legendary DST on the turntables, plus Anton Fier and JT Lewis on drums, Bernard Fowler on keyboards and vocals, and Foda Musa Suso on talking drum and percussion! Titles include "Crazy Cuts/Chameleon", "Rockit", "Future Shock", "Autodrive", "Rough", "Stars In Your Eyes", and "Earth Beat". LP, Vinyl record album

A totally righteous little record – the only set we've ever seen from Native American vocalist Cheyenne Fowler – and a wicked blend of jazz, soul, and funk – tied together with a really positive spirit! Gene Russell had a hand in putting the set together, and you can definitely hear some echoes of his more spiritual work in the music – and like some of the best underground acts of the 70s, Cheyenne has a way of mixing up all the hippest elements of the left side of the spectrum – then coming up with a sound that's deeply personal, and really unique! The best cuts on the record have a jazz funk approach to soul – with funky keyboard grooving, wah-wah guitar, and tasty horn flourishes over the top – and although Cheyenne's not the greatest vocalist in the world technically, she's got a strong and proud style that really carries the record. Titles include "I Don't Speak With Forked Tongue", "Cheyenne's Coming", "Grooving With You", "It Ain't All About That", "Come Back To Me", "I Love You But I Gotta Go", and "Dream Street". CD
