The Brecker Bros. sophomore album, one of less than a dozen releases from Arista at the tail end of the quad era in 1976. Aside from Randy and Michael Brecker, the band features a number of musicians who would find individual success including bassist and vocalist Will Lee (later of David Letterman's house band), saxophonist David Sanborn, and session keyboardist extraordinaire Don Grolnick. The album is bolstered by session contributions from drummer Steve Gadd (who kills it on the frenetic Night Flight) and a pre-solo fame Luther Vandross, who did the vocal arrangements and backing vocals, shortly after he fulfilled the same role on David Bowie's Young Americans album.
