Casino Lights: Recorded Live at Montreux, Switzerland ( 1982 )

This album was a live recording from the Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland. While not a Yellowjackets album per se, various 'Jackets performed on many of the tracks. The group (with Robben Ford and Lenny Castro) performs "Monmouth College Fight Song", composed by Russ, which he describes as "a march of sorts, but a little demented". They're also featured on "Tee Time For Eric" (CD only), which apppeared on the Robben Ford album "The Inside Story". The group also accompanies Randy Crawford (whom they backed up on tour) on John Lennon's "Imagine". Marathon man Ricky Lawson plays on the Al Jarreau/Randy Crawford duets of "Your Precious Love", "Who's Right, Who's Wrong" and "Sure Enough". Ricky and Robben Ford also backed up David Sanborn on "Theme from Love Is Not Enough" and "Hideaway"; the band also featured Marcus Miller.
