Cheshire Cat
New - LP - BN-LA425-G
Sealed 1975 Original With Cut Corner. Hint Of Ring Wear, Hence Price. Features George Benson, Mtume, Joe Beck And Others. “Reuniting Ronnie Foster With Guitarist George Benson, Who Also Produced The Previous On The Avenue, The Keyboardist's Final Blue Note Date Cheshire Cat Completes His Immersion Into The Mainstream. Few Records That Fall Into The Soul-Jazz Genre Balance Both Sides Of The Equation So Carefully Or So Deftly. While Foster's Original Compositions Boast The Harmonic Complexity And Structural Rigorousness Of Jazz, Benson's Production Is Pure Pop, With Numbers Including "Like A Child" Sounding Indistinguishable From The Commercial Soul Fare Making Radio Play Lists During The Mid-'70s. (A Convincing Cover Of Stevie Wonder's "Tuesday Heartbreak" Further Blurs The Genre Lines.) Expanding Upon Ideas First Explored Via On The Avenue, Foster Again Steps Behind The Microphone To Handle Vocal Chores On Several Tracks, Proving A Fine If Unspectacular Singer. He Remains Most Persuasive As A Composer And Instrumentalist, However, Articulating The Infectiousness And Gradations Of His Music With Clarity And Aplomb.” Jason Ankeny, AMG.

Love Satellite
New - LP - JC 35373
Sealed 1978 Original. “Ronnie Foster's Columbia Debut, Love Satellite, Is For All Intents And Purposes An R&B Record Swaddled In The Trappings Of Jazz -- The Aptly Titled "Happy Song" Even Features Drums From No Less Than Stevie Wonder, Whose Groundbreaking Mid-'70s Motown LPs Profoundly Shaped The Sound And Scope Of Foster's Concurrent Efforts. Ably Supported By A Cast Of Fusion Giants Including Vibist Roy Ayers, Bassist Alphonso Johnson, And Drummer Harvey Mason, Foster Creates Music That Is Smart And Focused Yet Unapologetically Commercial In Orientation And Presentation -- Though Played With The Expertise And Dynamism Of Jazz, The Songs Speak To The Body At The Exclusion Of The Mind.” - Jason Ankeny, AMG
