Description

Here’s a stomping Bluiett electric group that’ll knock you on your butt. I can’t possibly summarize this session, so I’ll give you the recipe for Bluiett’s barbeque instead: a powerful from-the-church soul singer belting “Wind Beneath My Wings” and “Precious Lord”; a keyboard funkmeister borrowed from George Clinton; an 18 voice children’s choir; and an octave-defying bass sax transformation of “Body and Soul”. Mix in Bluiett originals that crisscross the lines between jazz, R&B, fusion and gospel. His group includes Calvin Jones on electric bass, Ronnie Burrage on drums, Donald Blackman on keyboard and Chief Bey on hand drums. This audiophilic spectacular is a Fi SuperDisc.
