Notable combinations by track

Although full track-by-track credits have never been widely republished, several highlights are known:

• Groovin' You – features Kenny Mason (trumpet), Ray Parker Jr., Bob James, Stanley Clarke, Sheila E., Jim Gilstrap and Stephanie Spruill among the principal contributors.


• Wave – includes George Benson as featured guitarist.


• Kauai – composed by Bob James and features his keyboards prominently.

This is one of Harvey Mason's most star-studded records. It combines musicians from the Los Angeles studio scene (Lukather, Foster, Porcaro, Graydon), New York session elite (Richard Tee, Eric Gale, David Spinozza), jazz greats (Bob James, Stanley Clarke, George Benson), and funk/R&B players (Ray Parker Jr., Verdine White, Sheila E.), making it a remarkable snapshot of late-1970s crossover jazz-funk.
