Mike Mainieri - Love Play (1977)


Mike Manieri is probably one of the premier vibes players we do not often heard of. He played for a long time with Buddy Rich (1956 - 1963) and also for the ever evolving jazz fusion group Step head ( Michael Brecker, Steve Gadd, Mike Stern were among the most notable members). He also appeared on Dire Strait's "Love over Gold" album. Love play was orginally released in 1977 and this is the 2007 reissued version. Personnel in the session include: Michael Brecker, David Sanborn, Don Grolnick, David Spinozza, Tony Levin, Steve Gadd and others.
