Moments Worth Listening For
The bright, Caribbean-inflected opening melody of Island Lady that immediately signals a shift from Rollins' usual hard bop grit.
Patrice Rushen's electric piano solo on Love Reborn providing a soft, shimmering bed for Sonny's more melodic, restrained phrasing.
The tight, punchy brass arrangements on Shout It Out that give the track a big-band-funk hybrid energy.
