"I entirely agree with the other reviewers, this is is a top notch production - jazz funk at it's best, and this is an understatement. Let me tell you a little anecdote: I was working in Sweden for a few days and my hotel was not far from the main train station to the airport in the downtown area. Well, having just arrived I ventured to the next CD shop trying to locate a CD by Nils Landgren.In a shop close to my hotel I talked to a guy of whom I thought he may know something about this type of music - and guess what: it didn't klick at first but it was Magnum Coltrane Price,the N.L. Funk unit bass guitar player. Wow. In any case, I got to hear the N.L. funk unit live that evening and it was magic (understatement again). Thanks to a great band. --- Back to the case: The CD captures thruthfully the spirit of the live performance, and if you really like funk jazz - this is it, and it is as good as it gets. Enjoy."
