This is a killer new release by a small organ jazz combo from the Big Apple -- and they are definitely worthy members of the city's great end-of-the century funk scene that includes Medeski, Martin & Wood, Sugarman Three, and The Other Side! The band have certainly spent plenty of time getting their chops up -- and they have a very tight organ/guitar sound with a totally live feel to it. The overall groove is right up there with the best classic combos on Prestige -- with stone cold funky drumming underneath sweetly strident lines on the Hammond, and some very heavy guitar rhythm parts. In a way, the record really evokes the heavy funk sound of Lonnie Smith's fantastic Blue Note sides from the late 60s -- with a very heavy drum sound nicely kicking it live! The CD's their first -- and believe us, it will more than break them out of the box. Tracks include "Arruga de Agua", "Doin Something", "Rudy's Way", "Azucar", and "Steppin". Great stuff!
