Real Gone Music continues its Black Jazz reissue series with this 1975 album from keyboardist Roland Haynes.  The hard-to-find album features notable sidemen in the ace rhythm section composed of drummer Carl Burnett (whose credits include Cal Tjader, Vince Guaraldi and Gene Harris and The Three Sounds), and bassist Henry 'The Skipper' Franklin (who's recorded with Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Hugh Masekela, and many others).  The star of the album, though, are the dual Fender Rhodes keyboards played by Haynes and Kirk Lightsey. Available on CD and vinyl.
