Query: An enjoyable listen

Ever since hearing Christian and his trio live in LA one night soon after he was "on his own," I've followed him closely. He's a great bassist, great straight-ahead jazzman, and a guy with a real musical feel (composing as well as playing numerous jazz styles). But I love this album because (1) it is so funky (Christian's an EW&F and James Brown fan), and (2) the variety of the album-a couple great vocal numbers (w/soloists) are included with the funky stuff. He's proven himself with the jazz world, and this album is just plain fun to listen to, regardless of your jazz preference.
