Unvarnished, raw and unabashedly funk, this relentlessly infectious set of monster grooves combines the best of the Rudy Van Gelder’s signature sound with the gritty, hypnotic improvisational moments of The Meters, resulting in a tantalizingly primal stew of blues, soul, jazz, and funk. Features the oft-sampled, non-stop burner, Kool Is Back.
