The presence of jazz guitar legend Charlie Hunter (who seems to be popping up everywhere lately) along with members of Sex Mob and Galactic should give you some clue as to the nature of this new effort from composer/drummer Bobby Previte. All instrumental, these tunes are mostly blues driven jams with more emphasis on the rock influences than the jazz, but with no shortage of intricate rhythms and interesting chords. Another fine funk fusion release from our friends at Ropeadope records. -Calin
