This Qwest project was a typical crossover project for
Ernie Watts, who recorded a series of commercial sets for Elektra and Qwest. The rhythms are danceable;
Watts displays attractive tones on tenor, alto, and soprano; the supporting cast includes top L.A. studio musicians;
Don Grusin contributes keyboards and electronic rhythms; among the many vocalists are
Larry Williams and
Phil Perry; and guitarist
Lee Ritenour pops up on a few numbers. ~ Scott Yanow
