New Warrior

Digitally remastered edition of this 1978 album from the Jazz Fusion keyboardist. Lyle was the pianist with Young Holt Unlimited and played with Jimi Hendricks, booked to go on the road with him just ahead of the untimely death. In 1974 he moved to Los Angeles and went on the road with Sly & the Family Stone, and then through dates with Ronnie Laws he met ex-Crusader Wayne Henderson who took him to Capitol Records. He is joined by a stellar cast of musicians including Harvey Mason on Drums, Pleasure's Nathaniel Phillips on Bass and Paulinho Da Costa on Percussion. And includes Bobby exploring his Barry White-esque vocal tones on the popular "Good Inside" but his ultimate jazz funk from a period that gave US artists like Lonnie Liston Smith, Joe Sample and Bob James.
