"On Top" by Headhunters

(5 out of 5 stars)

"About 63 minutes good solid Headhunters style jazz-funk,however

the only original group members are those covering the percussive

aspects(Mike Clark-drums,Bill Summers-perc.)but I assure you the

personnel changes have not subtracted 1 iota from that sound you

expect when you hear "Headhunters." This album cranks and you

won't be unaffected by it! TM Stevens replaces Paul Jackson on bass,

Bennie Maupin gets replaced with Mark Shim and on "Butterfly" by

Donald Harrison,and last but definitely not least keyboards are more

than adequately covered by Jerry Z includes some good soloing-

check out latter part of "Sly" (no idea if any relation to Rachel).

My favorite is "Loft Funk"(check out the bass)but even "Watermelon

Man" receives a great upgrade of funktification.
