UK Expansion Records 2010 2-in-1 American multi-reed player Jazz, Fusion R. Roose is from a famous musical family, brother of Hubert. This is a coupling of his 3rd and 4th albums, originally on Blue Note and United Artists. Funky & mellow, mainly 16-beat, with vocals on several tracks. I think it's the sound of the trend during the heyday of fusion. He was an early member of EW&F, and several former bandmates also participated. W. Henderson of the Crusaders was involved in the production of both albums. In recent years, it has been re-evaluated in the context of rare groove and jazz funk, and has been used as a sampling source for Hip Hop.
