About this album

CTI Summer Jazz At The Hollywood Bowl Live One is a lively showcase of CTI’s glossy, groove-driven late-1970s jazz-funk sound. Recorded live at the Hollywood Bowl and issued in 1977, the album brings together an all-star line-up associated with Creed Taylor’s label, where polished production met mainstream appeal. The performance moves between burnished fusion, soulful arrangements and crowd-pleasing momentum, with pieces such as “Inner City Blues / What’s Going On” and “California Dreaming” showing how CTI reframed familiar material through a sleek, contemporary jazz lens. It stands as a snapshot of the label’s ambitious attempt to make jazz feel expansive, accessible and radio-ready.
