Quite possibly the funkiest record ever made by guitarist Joe Pass -- a real surprise from an artist we mostly know for his mellower and straight ahead work!
The style here is tight electric funk, almost in a Groove Merchant sort of way -- and given Joe's heavy use of hollow-body guitar on the record, and the warm chromatic hues in his tone, the style's a fair bit like O'Donel Levy on his 70s classics from the same era. Bassist Carol Kaye had a hand in putting together the record, and there's a similar feel here to her own best grooves -- tight, studio-oriented work -- but never slick or too commercial! Other players include Joe Sample on keyboards, Paul Humphrey on drums, Tom Scott on sax and flute, and JJ Johnson on trombone -- and despite the presence of these heavyweights, the record has a nicely soulful sound that's more indie grit than major label funk!
