Keyboard wizard Bobby Lyle’s Classic Jazz funk album from 1977, includes the brilliant inventive title track ‘The Genie’, an all time classic that goes through many changes but retains its groove throughout. His version of his own beautiful track ‘Night Breeze’ previously recorded by Ronnie Laws is another highlight. ‘Mother Nile’ is a mystical track with a deep rhythm structure, and ‘Pisces’ is a lovely dreamy mid tempo track. The more up tempo ‘Magic Ride’ and atmospheric ‘You Think Of Her’ feature Bobby’s deep vocals. Lyle is joined by a stellar cast of musicians including Roland Bautista on guitar, Babatunde on percussion, Victor Feldman on vibes, Ernie Watts on sax, Steve Gutierrez on drums and Donnie Beck on bass amongst many others. Great Jazz-Funk album. produced by Wayne Henderson for At-Home Productions.
