The Lenny White Collection contains 11 tracks the jazz fusion drummer recorded for the Hip Bop label in the mid- to late '90s. Highlights include "Uno Dos Adios," "Pick Pocket," "Who Do You Love," and cover versions of Cannonball Adderley's "Sack o' Woe" and "Dr. Jackle/Africa Talks to You," an interesting blend of the Jackie McLean and Sly Stone compositions. ~ Al Campbell
