Fourth in a series. To be considered a "chart scraper" album, an artist must have had only one album make the Cash Box 200 album chart* during the years 1976-85. Said album spent no more than two weeks on the chart, placing no higher than 196. They're all new to me.

This live jazz fusion recording is aggressive and loud - very much in your face. I prefer a cleaner guitar sound, but if you like distortion with your jazz solos, this might be right up your alley. To my ear, side one is much preferable to side two. Side one starts off with a cover of "Compared to What" which features some great work on the Fender Rhodes by Les McCann and ends with the bluesy Abracadabra.
I had difficulty finding much info on this album other than what I've linked to above. While it spent 2 weeks on the Cash Box album charts, it didn't get a mention in Billboard, not even that magazine's Jazz albums chart.
