Very nice smooth jazz with a Spanish "tinge", Mike was born in New Zealand (1940) largely his talents were unrecognised and he moved to USA in 1961 to further study jazz and bringing him into contact with greats such as Coleman Hawkins amongst others. After a while he formed Fourth Way in San Francisco, an adverture into the beginnings of jazz-rock in the early 1970's

Cover is in very good condition, no tears, no writing, no seam splits and the edge wear is very light.
The original "Green Tomato" inner sleeve (clean) is supplied, because of the unique graphics
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see just a couple of very light scratches/marks on either side. I then played the ENTIRE album, every single track, and there are no issues with surface noise or click/pop events.
