Reissue with the latest 24bit remastering. Features original cover artwork. Comes with a descripton in Japanese. A really unique little album from Cannonball's all-great late years at Capitol – a session that features some strong influences from Brazilian music – "The Happy People" – and production from the legendary David Axelrod! The mix makes for a really unique little record – a set that isn't really bossa, but isn't regular Cannonball funk either – kind of a special hybrid of the two! Airto plays on the set, and contributed the great groover "The Happy People" – a long bit of funky samba that features George Duke on electric piano, and percussion and vocals by Airto himself.

Christian McBride is Philadelphia jazz royalty. For People Music, the second album by his new quintet Inside Straight, the bandleader has composed eight lively tracks rooted by his dexterous bass work. Over McBride's dynamic low end, the songs are fleshed out with Steve Wilson's graceful saxophone melodies, shimmering vibraphone riffs courtesy of Warren Wolf, and elegant piano work from both Peter Martin and special guest Christian Sands. Highlights include the centerpiece "The Movement Revisited," which showcases the group in ravishing post-bop form, and the wistful ballad "New Hope's Angel," on which McBride allows himself the spotlight with a restrained, stylish solo.
