An interesting excursion into jazz/rock fusion territory for Chet Baker’s former bass player Hersh Hamel who recruited Art Pepper (Hamel was a member of his 1964 quartet) and a soulful female vocal trio for this experimental group playing his own compositions. Made in 1975 in LA, this is very much an album of its time -- flirting with rock, soul and funk -- and a departure for Art Pepper who’s given the chance to solo in an unusual musical setting.

Jazzwise - Alyn Shipton

1970's funk/fusion by relatively unknown bassist Hamel, bith the the great bonus of Art Pepper as the saxophone soloist.
