Guitarist
Melvin Sparks
keeps 1970s-style funky
soul-jazz
alive on this set, which is filled with catchy grooves, fine ensemble playing, and soulful solos. Heading a quartet that features tenor saxophonist
Joe Herbek
(
Cochemea Gastalim
takes his place on
"Charlie Brown"
), organist
Jeremy Baum
(replaced by
Adam Scone
on two numbers), and drummer
Eric Kalb
,
Sparks
performs likable and very danceable music. The one fault to the date is the sameness of much of the
R&B-ish
material (the guitarist wrote five of the nine selections), but this CD is excellent for parties and as infectious background music. ~ Scott Yanow
