Put together four immensely talented men whose stellar credits could literally fill a complete musical who’s who; add the production skills and expertise of one of the most influential men in contemporary music; rehearse for a week and jump right into the studio immediately thereafter. The result? A sizzling piece of work, full of excitement and passion, a collaboration that captures the spontaneity and raw energy that was an integral part of the recording process for Urban Knights.
Credit for casting legendary maestros Ramsey Lewis and Grover Washington, Jr. with star players Omar Hakim (on drums) and Victor Bailey (on bass) and putting the project in the hands of the equally legendary Maurice White belongs to GRP Vice-President of A&R, Carl Griffin. He recalls, “I was looking for a new project for Ramsey, who’s been a GRP artist for the last few years.
