Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the Jazz keyboardist. In 1974 he moved to Los Angeles and went on the road with Sly & The Family Stone, and then through dates with Ronnie Laws he met ex-Crusader Wayne Henderson who took him to Capitol Records where these two iconic albums resulted in 1977 and 1978 respectively. Bobby also became Wayne s keyboard player of choice on his solo albums and productions through the remainder of the "70s and early "80s, contributing to the At Home Production sound which defines these albums. The Genie was rediscovered in the rare groove period of the 80s and vinyl copies exchanged hands for small fortunes. The same is now true of the rare first pressing of this album on CD, from which Bobby gets his nickname for the lightning pace and magic of his playing. New Warrior has never previously been on CD and includes Bobby exploring his Barry White-esque vocal tones on the popular "Good Inside" but his ultimate jazz funk from a period that gave us artists like Lonnie Liston Smith, Joe Sample and Bob James.
