Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, with Joe Henderson, Eddie Wright, and Clarence Johnston joining Freddie Roach. As Roach says in the liner notes, describing folks dancing: “I watched that multitude of people pulsing, boiling, melting, looking for all the world like sweet fudge. I thought this is my favorite dessert – Brown Sugar. If only I could make an album that had this feeling.”
This was his fourth full-length on Blue Note – great jazz/soul fusion organ music.
