★★★☆☆ = Good!
What’s it sound like?
Funky instrumental rhythm and blues
Thoughts
Dirty like the meters with the great Jimmy McGriff on organ. This recording is particularly rich which makes it a great example of the era. Not a lot of variety but it’s constantly building and unfolding, made especially effective by the use of brass.
The 2nd half after bird wave is where it’s at.

★★★☆☆ = Good!
What’s it sound like?
Electric Blues-jazz driven by guitar
Thoughts
Side 1: the freedom suite 1 and 2 tracks are great blues; raw, fast and dirty.
Side 2: Green dolphin street kicks things off with a clarinet solo, setting the pace with calmer standards that were just OK.
