The jazz world lost a true legend when this renowned bassist died in the summer of 2020. Soon after he left the band of Ramsey Lewis (with whom he recorded 17 albums), Eaton recorded this 1975 LP for the Black Jazz label. This is like a fine blend of Ramsey’s soul-funk and the hard-driving swing Eaton would later play during his dozen years in Count Basie’s band. You’ll hear echoes of Blaxploitation soundtracks, disco, Philly soul and trad jazz, too; the party anthem "Moe Let’s Have a Party" joins "Keena," "Hamburg 302," "Kaiser 405" and more.
