Notes: A live show recorded May 20/21, 1977 at the Palladium theatre in New York capturing more of the vocal side of RTF. Lacking the guitar that some folks expect to find on an album by RTF this recording is built upon a brass foundation tempered with the ever inventive keys of Chick Corea and the drive of Stanley Clarke on bass. a nice spread of material with a good take on Johnny Mercer's "Come Rain or Come Shine". A Picasso piece graces the front cover and photo of the ensamble on the back. Maybe not my favorite RTF outing, but still worth a spinor two on the turntable.
