NORMAN CONNORS Take It To The Limit / Mr. C (2010 issue UK 16-track 2-on-1 CD album - Norman Connors delivered some of the finest jazz fusion of the 1970s, often integrated with vocalists and soloists he would discover and send on their way to significant solo success. After touring as drummer with Pharaoh Sanders and featuring on five of his albums, Norman landed at Buddah Records in 1972 then after the acquisition of Buddah by Arista in the late 70s he arrived at the main Arista imprint in 1980 and delivered these two classic albums 'Take It To The Limit' and 'Mr.C', the pinnacle of his work as a musician, co-ordinator, and producer of live music pre the dawn of programmed drumming and keyboard replicaters. These two albums fit seamlessly together as one body of work at a special time for jazz fusion, they are massive sounding pieces of high energy soul jazz fusion from a true master of the genre).
