• Track Listing

Those years take us across 17 albums (from 1975’s "Taking Off" to 1988’s "Close-Up" to 1999’s "Inside") that saw this sublime saxophonist rise from sideman to star. Rare radio edits ("Lesley Ann"), mixes (the 12" Dance Music mix of "Believer," a remix of "Got to Give It Up") and live performances ("Smile," "Lisa," "Lotus Blossom," "Love and Happiness") join key album cuts: "Flight," "Heba," "Benjamin," "Snakes," "High Roller," "Benny," "Jesus," "Naked Moon," "Duck Ankles!," "Infant Eyes," "Imogene," "Pearls" and more. These tracks range from funky and soulful to sumptuously orchestral, and the notes here detail all the A-list musicians and singers featured therein! SoulMusic
