With his long mane of white hair, Edgar Winter has long cut one of the most striking profiles in rock. Like his older brother Johnny, Texas-born Edgar was steeped in the blues. Emerging onto the scene with the 1970 Epic album Entrance, Winter fused blues with many of the styles with which he would become known, including rock, pop, soul, and jazz.
"Jasmine Nightdreams" is Edgar's 1975 album "co-created" with his frequent collaborator, Dan Hartman. In addition to singer-songwriter-musician Hartman, the album also featured Johnny as well as the brothers' Blue Sky Records labelmate Rick Derringer. The soaring Hartman/Winter title co-write epitomized smooth mid-'70s pop-rock, but strains of danceable funk, gospel, and blues rock weren't far beneath the surface.
