This album called "The Griffith Park Collection" is an all-star date nominally led by drum master Lenny White. The others involved are Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and flugelhorn, Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, Chick Corea on piano, Stanley Clarke on acoustic bass. They had completed an album in Los Angeles with the great singer Chaka Kahn and producer Bruce Lundvall got the bright idea to record an instrumental album with this stellar band. Lenny White was the nominal leader and this great album was finished in two sessions. The tunes usually were done with a few exceptions in one or two takes. Everything gelled and we have a latter day classic done in 1980.It is overlooked by some fans and shouldn't be so listen up tonight and hear this fine document by these masters. Enjoy!
