Packed with new jams, Distractions carries an old school, funky vibe. The disc grooves across smooth vocals and jazz beats, as the group jams on a variety of soulful tunes and showcases Roy Hargrove’s talents as a composer. Check out #2 “Crazy Race”, the ultra-funky #8 “Hold On”, and the down and dirty instrumental #3 “Kansas City Funk”.
