A lesser known but nonetheless essential G.W. album. It starts with the funky "the sea line" (some thick drums here) and continues with the totally different, lush and aptly titled "Moonstreams" (great guitar solo by my favourite: Eric Gale). Knucklehead is another funky, bass-laden (Louis Johnson) track. "It feels good" is in a similar mood although G.W.'s creamy sax overshadows the others this time. "Hydra" ends the album with something somewhere inbetween the funky and the lush mood.
An absolutely essential album for any Soul-Jazz/Cti afficionado. Go and get it!

What a fine share!! This album has a very similar groove like Hancock's "Headhunters", but never got the recognition it deserved. I will surely file this in my Classic Jazz/Fusion/Funk folder. Thanks.
Congratulations on the blog, thanks for this!! I've been a fan of progressive rock, jazz rock and fusion for a long time, but never got in contact with this specific kind of jazz, so groovy, it's simply great! Too bad the file is down, I had to look up somewhere else for the full release, but thanks for the introduction to it. Great stuff, keep it up!!
