Why This Record Matters

The sessions feature Bennie Maupin, Paul Jackson, Wah Wah Watson, Ray Parker Jr., and James Levi alongside Hancock’s extensive array of keyboards and synthesizers. The album includes “Doin’ It” and a funk-oriented reworking of Hancock’s earlier composition “Cantelope Island.”
