Realization is one of those albums that flies under the radar somewhat, Eddie Henderson who was heavily influenced by the electric music of Miles Davis, but not to point of absurdity, really cranks out a funk fusion masterpiece, Very much in the style of the Mwandishi band albums he participated on, with loose bubbling bass grooves, but certainly they do not groove in the Headhunters sense, this music has more in common with the Hancock album Sextant, "Space Funk" would be a good way to describe this music, I have really grown fond of this style and sound, high quality imaginative rhythms and special effect sounds sprinkled throughout, with free wheeling trumpet bursts, African style rhythms driving the music, perfect to my ears, Realization and Inside Out both are in the Hancock Crossings and Mwandishi style, and well worth exploring.
