About this album

Perspective is a muscular late-1970s fusion album from tenor saxophonist Steve Grossman, balancing hard-driving jazz improvisation with funk-inflected rhythms and rock-edged momentum. Released in 1979, it finds Grossman in a format that suited his powerful tone and fluent, high-energy phrasing, with the band moving easily between groove-led passages and more adventurous harmonic turns. The album sits squarely in the jazz-funk and jazz-rock movement of the period, when crossover projects were helping expand the audience for modern jazz without diluting its intensity. For listeners drawn to electric-era jazz with bite, Perspective is one of Grossman's most direct and compelling statements.
