Ok, what was I thinking when I pasted up this album for years. Now, finally 25 years later I discovered a treasure that should have been a part my collection without a doubt. I have several recording by the artists involved in the making of this album. So, it's needless to say I feel like a knucklehead for not even attempting to have listen to it before now. Randy Crawford's my home girl, so if that wasn't enough to spark my curiosity what more did I need. This recording opens up with the first three tracks being duets between Randy Crawford & Al Jarreau. The vocal chemistry between these two is enough to make me wish I could sing period, at least half as good as these two. What follows next is the voice of an angel, Randy singing "Imagine" for 5:31 minutes you surely believe. The YellowJackets are a very gifted group of musicians, then as they are now. This was genesis of what the group has become some 25 years later. I bought the CD mainly because of the YellowJacket, but after listening to it I know I have a treasure chest. The next two cuts features David Sanborn who's like the Genie out of the bottle, but not without wish fulfilling skills of Mike Mainieri, Marcus Miller, & Robben Ford. The title cut "Casino Lights" featuring Neil Larsen & Buzz Feiten is perfect follow up to "Hideaway." This CD continues to be great listening to the very end. It's one like I said earlier, I wish I had bought sooner but now that I know what I been missing I feel good to have it.Read full review
