Broto Roy discography For Rescue, Sanjay Mishra invited back a few friends from his previous albums, including tabla player Samir Chatterjee and, for a few electronic-rhythm tracks, programmer/engineer Miti.

Released in 1994, Slanted often sounded like a tribute album to Holloway's idols and influences, but the following year's Struttin' is much more relaxed and expansive; Holloway's own style, a wide-ranging mix of gutbucket funk and bop cool, is much more in evidence on this selection of standards and newer compositions.
