            Eddie Roberts is guitarist with the New Mastersounds, a
            band of crack sessioneers who specialise in the kind of
            revivalist funk that's probably great live, but seems
            slightly pointless on record. This (his first solo
            effort) is maybe similarly dependent on the past for
            inspiration, but it's delivered with enough good humour,
            invention and vigour to soften the heart of all but the
            most hardened jazz snob (your humble reviewer included).

            Though Roberts is undoubtedly a gifted soloist, the real
            strength of this album lies in the diversity of the
            writing and arranging on display. The title's aptly
            chosen; this is as far from smooth jazz as this kind of
            music gets. From the opening modal rush of the title
            track through to the nu-jazz dub hybrid of 'Diggin'
            Deeper', Roberts pushes the meters well into the red as
            he mixes real-time playing with bursts of samples and
            jumpcut editing, giving the music an immediacy and
            aggression that'll have you pricking up your ears and
            maybe even shaking the odd tailfeather or two.

            Roberts' fluid, juicy guitar owes a lot to the likes of
            early George Benson, and by association the classic
            tones of Wes Montgomery, Grant Green and Kenny Burrell.
            But he's got an attack and bite that lifts him above the
            copyists, as well as a penchant for more exploratory,
            vaguely psychedelic playing, as on his tribute to the
            sadly neglected Gabor Szabo ("Szabo').

            There are a couple of tunes that don't come off - a
            cover of Stanley Turrentine's "Sugar" is a bit too, er,
            sugary for my tastes, and while the lounge, piano-led
            groove of "Every Goodbye" might lodge in your head
            immediately, its cut 'n' paste approach goes nowhere
            much, mainly due to the absence of Roberts' guitar
            wizardry. But that's just nit-picking. In the main, this
            is an unpretentious, well crafted slice of dancefloor
            jazz (a phrase that normally has me reaching for my
            Albert Ayler records). Well worth your time.
