Query: Very, very tight funk grooves.

.... via pandora bought cd and ripped 6 tracks; remaining 5 tracks OK but expendable. That being said these 6 tracks are very, very good in a manner reminiscent of an instrumental 'Tower of Power'. Along that lines the drummer (Adam Deitch) evokes David Garibaldi and that is no small matter. The bass playing is likewise exceptional, there is a lot of bluesy Hammond B3 which fits perfectly, the guitar soloing (some by John Scofield) is very strong and the horn riffing and soloing are quite good. This cd may not please jazz OR funk "purists" but as a logical extension of things like Spyro Gyra (whom I generally dislike as too saccharine), the Yellow Jackets, and Jeff Lorber Fusion this is actually a recording I prefer to anything those groups ever did. It seems purer and clearer of any commercial intent. ( preferred tracks - Squadive, Back in Effect, Twisted, Reunion, The Flu and Nyack .... loss of a star for the other 5 tracks)
