For those who don't know it, David Garabaldi is considered one of THE most influential drummers alive. His style of playing really created the funk/ fusion genre. I heard Francis Rocco Prestia credit Garabaldi for helping to shape his bass playing style. With Bruce Conte on guitar, Prestia on Bass, and the incredible Chester Thompson on keyboards they comprised the tightest rhythm section on the planet. I have played this album for my son's friends who think they can play some music. They all stand there shaking their heads in total disbelief. Get this album. You won't be disappointed.
