HAL GORDON - INNER STRENGTH 1977 2 TRACKS ONLY

Percussionist Hal Gordon employs two seperate groups to record with on this date and it's with keyboardist Frank Strazzeri's two compositions that I'd like to advertise on this post, well written and played and giving Hal some freedom on congas. It's a shame this group did'nt record the whole album.

Frank Strazzeri - Keyboards
Ray Pizzi - Tenor saxophone & flute
Gene Cherico - Bass
Steve Shaffer - Drums

Ballad of the matador
