A rare live performance from the legendary Lyman Woodard Organization
-- captured here at the height of their powers in the 70s! The
Organization has a really unique approach to their groove -- one that
starts in jazz, but moves quickly into funk -- with a spirit that you'd
find in other 70s groups like Funk Inc or The Nineteenth Whole -- both
of which have the same soulful local spirit as Lyman's mighty group!
Woodard himself is a wonderful organist -- playing with these
freewheeling lines that open the Hammond up strongly way past the Jimmy
Smith generation, with a groove that's often soaring, but still tightly
rhythmic too -- a hypnotic vamp that's perfect for jamming tracks like
these. Other group members are great too -- and include Ron English on
guitar, Norma Bell on alto sax, Lorenzo Brown on percussion, and
Sundiata on congas -- a very hip lineup that makes things really cook
on the set! The recording was originally done for radio, and there's a
few announcer bits -- but that professional setting also makes the
album sound way better than just a dodgy ol' local tape might.
if u like it buy it and show artists some love!
enjoy...
