When Disco Was Young-Anything Goes

"Anything Goes is a classic from the mid-70's when disco was in it's evolving stage. The tunes are primarily Jazz/R&B/Disco feel along with a couple R&B Bossa Novas. The musicians are sensational (Eric Gale, Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie, Brecker Brothers to name a few). Ron Carter lays down solid basic tracks but fumbles through solos on the electric bass. The backup musicians are superb and really carry everything. Eric Gale is outstanding along with the drummers and the album is a must have for anyone that is a Stuff fan or interested in the roots of disco (and the original musicians (group Stuff) that played and created it."
Correction on the Alto Credit

"This is Ron Carter's best CD. If you love his music this is a must. Every tune is perfect. I wore out the record and stretched the tape and I waited years for this CD. If you are new at listening to jazz I highly recommend this: If you are a jazz fan like myself, this is a must for your collection. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT !!!!!! Recorded in the mid 70's featuring a wide range of musicians including Eric Gales on guitar and I beleive it's David Sanborn on sax. Wonder solos shared by all."
