About this album

The Section is a strong jazz-rock debut from a quartet of elite Los Angeles session musicians. Issued in 1972, the album shows how players known for supporting others could turn their precision and instincts into a distinctive band sound: nimble, melodic and tightly locked, but never stiff. Drawing on jazz, rock and West Coast studio polish, it moves between fluent instrumental writing and relaxed groove-based passages, with a version of Otis Redding’s “Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay” adding familiar contrast. The result is a clean, highly musical record that helped define the era’s crossover session-player sound.
