Tight solid beats all the way around. There are no vocals on this album but if you ever dug anything by the Headhunters, John McLaughlin, Lonnie Liston Smith or Bobbi Humphrey, you'll find a lot to enjoy here. Bluesy and soulful, intricate yet smooth, "Reachin'" contains elements of Brazilian jazz funk meandering through and drips 70s jazz/funk. A lot to like here with Glenn on flute, Larry Mizel and Mark Soskin alternating on Rhodes, a fantastic bass and drum combo - even the album art is cool. It's a short album but no slouch work to be found. Nearly 40 years later it's only more apparent how hip these guys were. For the price right now you can't go wrong.

** 1/2 stars--Glenn's Too Late for the Party
16 Aug 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Session flautist Roger Glenn got his own shot at fusion stardom with this hard-to-find album produced by the infamous Mizell Brothers (Donald Byrd, Bobbi Humphrey). All the Mizell trademarks are here--wah-wah guitar, boogaloo rhythms, Arp string ensemble washes, Fender Rhodes licks and booming basslines. However, the ususal Mizell passive vocal colorations aren't on this session.
The music here is performed well, especially on the funk/Latin workout "Kick", the soothing "Gloria", and the brief percussion workout "Rezo Chango". The problem here is that when this album was released in 1976, disco and P-funk were the rage. Therefore, the Mizell's blaxploitation soundtrack grooves were passe by three years. Had this album been released in 1973, it would have been right on time.
