Rice - Saxophones, Lead Vocals Jon "Zap" Owen - Trombones, Vocals Andy Kendall - Flugelhorn, Trumpet, Strings, Synthesizer, Vocals Bob Marriott style fingerpicking yields to a soaring, horn-heavy arrangement as woodwind specialist Kenneth E. Rice steps into the spotlight as the primary songwriter and lead vocalist for "Someday Girl." This moody yet wonderfully unique take subverts traditional expectations by fusing late-night jazz-lounge sophistication with complex, multi-part vocal stacks and swelling keyboard strings. Engineered and mixed beautifully by John Calder at A.S.I. Studios on Broadway, this scarce independent track serves as an essential document of the highly sophisticated musical fusion emerging from the 1970s heartland.
