Top 3 Albums Ever
If you're going to own a funk cd, or any cd for that matter, get this one. I don't throw the term "favorite album" around lightly, and this is definitely one of my top 3 favorite albums. Maybe it didn't change the face of music like Kind of Blue or Darkside of the Moon did, but it is truly great. If you're looking for an album that can get you movin, this is the one. BUY THIS ALBUM!!!

A great start for an awesome band
This was my first funk/jazz CD, and it changed my whole perspective on music. Amazing musicality built on such simple riffs and themes is present here, from the guitar to the organ, from the sax to the trumpet, no instrument overlaps another, everything is superbly organized and layered. This band comes complete with and African-American singer, giving the music the soul of a black man with the blues, even though he only sings in a couple of tracks. Other than that, the wah of the guitar provides the soul at some points, then it is replaced by a solo "battle" between the sax and trumpet. The music then shifts to a jungley mood with great drumming and trumpeting. There is also a percussion intermission with more guitaring, and the final song features trombone and organ solos, and a free-for-all jamming session, even though the whole CD sounds like a jam. Either way, this is good stuff, it made an impression on me at the very least. You want funk? Look no further.
