Sadly, this was to be the last studio session completed by Charles "The Mighty Burner" Earland but it shows that Charles was in fine fettle and expanding his musical horizons right up until the end. Inviting the smooth jazz star Najee to appear with him on this album might at first seem like an odd pairing, but that trepidation lasts only until one hears the first track. They come charging out of the gate in great style, with Najee alluding to Wayne Shorter's "Footprints" before settling into a driving rendition of "My Favorite Things." With Melvin Sparks funky guitar leading the rhythm section "If Only For One Night" is not a memorial to a great musician, but rather a testimonial to Charles' creative, exploratory spirit that will keep the "Burner" brightly lit in the jazz world for years to come.
