Studio and session guitarist Joe Beck was best known for hits when backing vocalist Esther Phillips on Kudu in the '70s. During the '80s he made a series of competent fusion and pop/jazz recordings for DMP and had a big hit recording with Dave Sanborn on CTI in 1975. His career continued into the '90s and beyond with albums like 1991's Relaxin', 1997's Alto and his 2000 collaboration with Jimmy Bruno, Polarity.
Recorded using DMP's live to two-track digital recording process, this album features Michael Brecker (ts), Don Grolnick (p), Mark Egan (b) and is a fine collection of jazz & fusion material. (by Paul Kohler)
