A sweet sweet change for
Rusty Bryant - as electric piano moves in on the usual Hammond heard on most of
his funky sessions - with a resulting groove that's outta site! The change in
keys makes for more of a soundtrack funk feel than a rough-edged one - not
smooth at all, but more in a 70s class sort of area - partly CTI, but still
with lots more of that loose energy that makes the Prestige jazz funk sessions
so great. Unlike later dates of this nature, the group's still small, and very
unified - with Khalid Kenneth Moss on electric piano and a bit of organ, Harold
Young On guitar, Fred Masey on drums, and Norman Jones on percussion. Titles
include "Friday Night Funk For Saturday Night Brothers", "Have
You Seen Her", "Blues for a Brother", and "Mercy Mercy
Mercy". © Dusty Groove,
