Notes:  An incredible array of talent joins Freddie on this album of few songs, but many moods. The horn sounds strong and clean and leads the pack over the length of the run. he rhythm section is tight and the various soloists carry the job out flawlessly. Nice cover photos as well. A bit of jazz tempered by a touch of pop sensibilities at times. A fun record.
