With Lip Service, Richard Elliot has come full circle as one of the reigning merchants of soul jazz and cementing his role as one of the great contemporary sax players in the world.
While working on Summer Horns in 2013, he had the opportunity to revisit his roots as a member of Tower of Power by performing 'So Very Hard To Go' and working alongside arranger Greg Adams again. This led to Greg Adams' arrangement for the Grammy-nominated 'Shining Star' on Lip Service.
