In fact, I'm pretty sure he's playing on this album.

He does all those 'chacka-chacka-chacka-ch' tchoww' guitar bits.

Settled into a more typical soul-disco style.

That bit reminded me of something, And I will not rest till I remember what it was.

It's a fact not often acknowledged, but The Wiz was directed by Sidney Lumet. yes

Doing a self-titled Soul-Disco album. Which I suspect wouldn't be a million miles away from this.
