... LP, Vinyl record album

Michael Whalen plays a range of keyboards here with the Fire Brigade – a crack fusion ensemble with a hard-jamming style that takes us back to some of the bigger electric jazz albums of the 70s! Whalen's in the lead on Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Clavinet, and other keys – and the group's got some might strong drums on most numbers, which match up with the intense guitar work from Glenn Alexander, Jon Durant, and Frank DeBretti, and a mixture of saxes and flute from Bob Magnuson. Tunes are all originals by Whalen – and titles include "Code 10 80", "Duck Walk", "Flabbergasted", "Slippery Slope", "Gringo Suave", "Benny's Brooklyn Blues", and "A Childish Dream". CD
