Why This Record Matters
Flame is a 1978 jazz-funk album produced by saxophonist Ronnie Laws, with arrangements by Laws and Earth, Wind & Fire keyboardist Larry Dunn. The album reached the upper tier of contemporary jazz charts during its original release period and blends Laws’ saxophone-led jazz approach with the polished funk and soul production characteristic of his late-1970s work.
