Jeff Lorber – In The Heat of the Night

Smooth jazz album from Jeff Lorber, but it sounds more pop funk than anything. It features Nathan East playing some really great bass and the best synthesizers on 1984 on this record, along with Marlon “The Magician” McClain on guitar and Ronnie Laws playing saxophone. Some songs on this album are much better than I expected, but some are such garbage that they call the mindset of the musicians into question, like the moronic Sushi Monster and Double Bad.
