MALTA -- Sweet Magic

From YouTube
 

I recall a few years ago having posted an article on saxophonist MALTA's "A Letter From September" (1987), a romantic sunset or nighttime work that would make any romantic date sound even better.

Well, I've got something which comes in a little earlier in his career. The title track for MALTA's 2nd album "Sweet Magic" from September 1984 is definitely more upbeat and would probably fit the morning or early afternoon for any couple's walkabout on the beach. MALTA probably sweated a couple of litres' worth of sweat recording this one but it's well worth it, especially with some of his friends on piano and guitar. Also, I have to give a shoutout to that lovely cover. Looks like Tokyo Big Sight with an attitude!
