A child prodigy from Jamaica, Queens, who'd been playing with jazz ensembles since the age of 8, Wright was touring with legendary drummer Lenny White by the age of 13 and started playing with fellow Jamaican Tom Browne in 1979. Wright was just 17 years old when this groundbreaking album was recorded in 1980. Producers Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen must have been so impressed with his talent that they decided to produce his debut album themselves. They subsequently signed him to GRP records in 1981, when this album was released. Wright plays a variety of keyboards here, including acoustic & electric piano, Rhodes electric piano, Yamaha CP-80 electric piano, OBX synthesizer and clavinet. The maturity in his playing is self-evident but then so also is the youthfulness in his music. Just check out some of the titles: Bread Sandwiches; Just Chillin' Out; Haboglabotribin'. I remember reading somewhere that this was a young man who, at the time, loved clubbing and was more into the music of people like Kool & The Gang than he was of Herbie Hancock (although Hancock himself was enjoying a very commercially successful flirtation with club music around this time). While he definitely wanted to do jazz, he also wanted to make the kind of music that his peers and fellow clubbers could get into. So while what we get in the end is not as sophisticated a sound as what Tom Browne offered, for instance, it is certainly a lot more fun. The emphasis is definitely more on the 'funk' element of jazz-funk. "Haboglabotribin'" was huge on the jazz-funk scene back in the day and even though the album was never released here, it was one of those tunes that made the transition into that most revered of categories among UK soul heads: It became a rare groove tune. In fact the tune is on one of my many rare groove compilation CDs alongside tunes like Chocolate Milk's "Action Speaks Louder Than Words", Weldon Irvine's "I Love You" and Don Blackman's classic gem, "Holding You, Loving You". My favourite tunes on here include: the opener, "Master Rocker", written by Wright, Ronny Miller & Weldon Irvine; "Haboglabotribin'", written by Don Blackman; "Just Chillin' Out", with music written by Marcus Miller and lyrics by Wright, Al "Wink" Flythe & Barry "Sunjon" Johnson and "Bread Sandwiches" (the reason why I bought the CD in the first place), written by Wright, Denzel "Wink" Miller Jr & Steve Teele. But also notable are "Music Is The Key", written by Weldon Irvine & Tommy Smith, with touching if not accomplished lead vocals by Wright himself and background vocals by Patti Austin & Luther Vandross, no less; "Spinnin'", written by Al "Wink" Flythe, which, as my good friend Derek has pointed out below, was later sampled by Skee-Lo for his 1995 hit "I Wish" (as a vertically challenged man myself, that song has always had a particular resonance) and the Miles Davis tune "Solar", which is the only tune on the album with any real jazz pretensions. Wright shows his chops with a style that's complicated and demanding on the listener (he's more definitely Brad Mehldau than Lyle Mays) but I agree with Derek: The tune is completely out of place on this set. Wright put out a few other albums after this one and the working partnership with Marcus Miller that seemed to work so well here (Miller also arranged some of the tunes) went on. He also continued to work with Lenny White, including on "Blow" a 1982 album by Bobby M that I have on cassette but can't seem to find on CD anywhere for love or money. At any rate, this is definitely the album to get. It'll be a collector's item one day - if it isn't one already. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://macau.desertcart.com/products/7818292-nard](https://macau.desertcart.com/products/7818292-nard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Macau* *Store origin: MO* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
