Recorded live at Club Mozambique, Detroit, Michigan on May 21, 1970. The keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith and a band featuring the guitarist George Benson plays a mostly instrumental mixed bag of jazz and soul on this 1970 live set, including a Sly Stone cover in the form of "I Want to Thank You," the breakneck bebop of "Expressions," and the laid-back funk of "Play It Back."
Editorial Reviews ...a previously unissued fast-paced, bluesy outing starring George Benson, whose playing is sometimes wild and always just right. With funk-styled basslines, inventive organ solos, and JB Horns-type riffs, the outing is very catchy... Jazziz (06/01/1995)
3 Stars - Good - ...a very funky jazz set with leader Lonnie Smith's organ, Ronnie Cuber's baritone saxophone and George Benson's guitar cooking in a very low-down gospel-inspired groove... Q (08/01/1995)
