Sweet electric 70s funk from Blue Mitchell -- blowing
here in some of the hippest arrangements of his
career! Blue's trumpet alone is always pretty darn
great, but for this album he's working with arranger
Dave Matthews -- who gives the tunes fierce groove
that mixes vamping guitars with snapping drums -- sort
of picking up the groove that Matthews forged with
James Brown, but allowing for a lot freer jazz
interplay! The guitars are often recorded in a cool
way that has them sounding a bit "watery" alongside
the rhythms -- so much so, you'd swear they were
keyboards at times -- and this approach sounds really
great underneath Blue's tighter, harder, more
punctuated solos over the top of the tracks.
Additional support comes from horn players Joe Farrell
and Seldon Powell.
if u like it buy it and show artists some love!
enjoy...
