Groovin' soul jazz!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"All-star jazz group serves up a full platter of grooves, with meaty horn licks and some occasional tasty guitar. It's doubtful any of these tunes will bust any hit charts in this universe, so the band name is probably referring to musical charts. However, they rarely stray far from the established groove of each tune, so that's a little misleading, too. Still very enjoyable listening, if you're a fan of organ-based jazz. Dr. Lonnie Smith is the hippest cat on Earth in a turban!"
