Sister Slick is probably Hinze's heaviest album, with Philip Catherine on guitar while Hinze wails on flute. A very good representation of the harder edged fusion style. My second favorite Hinze album, only trails behind Mission Suite.

ut to me, the real highlight on this record is the Bass playing of John Lee. This guy sounds like he has come straight out of a session with a Zeuhl band. So dexterous and so colorful. A real rhythmic and melodic workout.

This is a must listen for Fusion fans. Its pretty readily available these days too and not that expensive.
