Funk album by Prince's former Minneapolis-born keyboard player, who also worked as a producer for paisley Park and with George Benson or Anita Parker. He recorded the album with the WDR Big Band Cologne, with saxophonists Johan Hoerlen, Karolina Strassmayer and Paul Heller, trombonist Shannon Barnett, trumpeter Andy Haderer or guitarist Bruno Mueller, among others, who all contribute wonderful solo moments. Ricky brought his rhythm section from the United States for this recording - with Gene Lake on drums and his brother Paul Peterson on bass. The combination of the great soloists, the orchestral genius of Bob Mintzer, the solid tradition of the WDR ensemble, as well as the American rhythm section - brings out Ricky's bold performance in a perfect way
