I recommend to buy every Chico Hamilton record that you can get a hold of. That dude has golden hands. From his psychedelic & latin jazz days in the 60s (check Head Hunters or El Chico) to the 70s Jazz-Funk era he produced a fat sack of fantastic tunes. This release from 1980 is the CHERRY ON TOP.  Why? Because of it's tenderness. A new side in Chico's oeuvre. There are so many beauties featured on the LP - not easy to pick faves for the soundclip...

If you have heard the wonderful Earforce Band library LP on UBM you might guess what magic is created by Rainer Brüpninghaus and his crew here. Out of this world synthesized fusion (partly reminissent of the Mizells) for trips all through the universe of sound! Dumile would have loved this...
