Weird though because mine is gatefold but same number as pictures but different matrix...RVG 87659 so is it OG or REISSUE?

From Mosaic Contemporary website:"Universally regarded as the most accomplished flautist in jazz, Hubert Laws has done much more than build a bridge between jazz and classical music; He has melded his diverse influences seamlessly with a fully singular approach. Afro-Classic includes brilliant interpretations of Bach, Mozart and James Taylor plus a gorgeous version of "Theme from 'Love Story'". This timeless classic by the genre-busting poll-winning flautist features Bob James, Ron Carter, and incredible arrangements by Don Sebesky."

Now this is what I'm talking about when I say that '70's Jazz having that "Fusion" sound. Boy, this is a great, great, great album. Mr. Laws flute playing is always tremendous, but the music behind it is atonishing! Even his version of "Fire and Rain" leaves you speechless. What I like here, is Laws (and Mr. Creed Taylor's) ability to fuse not only Jazz with a hint of funk, but they also incorporate a lot of "Classical". To me , that's what takes the music over the top (Hey, a Soul-Man can get down with the "Classical"). I have to say that it's very hard to pick which of the "CTI" albums of Laws are my favorite, but this definately rates high up there.....
