I've been looking for this album for years. It takes me back to my college day's in 1977 in the dorm rooms.

 Streamline, a wonderful blend of fusion-jazz-funk
Lenny White's Streamline is a classic. I've owned a vinyl copy for many years, but yearned for the CD -- now it's here. It's one of the strongest albums produced by a drummer. You can tell who the boss is as you hear the powerful and original drum riffs throughout the album. The songs are delightful! You won't regret adding this great album to your collection!

 fusion drum great moves into funk territory
Having already bought the other 3 Lenny White re-issues, I was prepared to listen to some more great fusion. I was quite surprised at this album though. Pleasantly. This album marked White's more full blown foray into funk. It was actually as good as much of the funk of the era, and is probably comparable in sound, to Earth Wind and Fire, although with a bit less emphasis on the vocals. There are still a little jazz/fusion edge to the material, but in general this album offers a very nice slab of well played funk. If you're a fan of Lenny White, jazz, fusion, and most especially well played 70's funk, you have to pick this album up.

 Finally !
Lenny's best solo effort in every way. A great line-up of musicians including Nick Moroch and Jamie Glaser on guitars blaze. Lennys' drums sound great, Marcus cooks and it sounds like a BAND rather than a solo project with guests.

 A Career Peak!
I really believe that Lenny White's music truely achieved perfection with this album.He manages to blend funk,fusion and even some rock into a slick brew where the album's title is no misnomer.Crafted material is the order of the day with Chaka Khan and Don Blackman's vocals on "Lady Madonna",his voice alone on the funky "Time" and White's brilliant instrumental "Pooh Bear".And as for everything else-even the fusion pieces in between are tightly circumscribed and feature Lenny White being more or less himself.This will make a fine introduction to Lenny White's music for those who've never heard it and is VERY HIGHLY recommended!!!
