Tough Times Recorded!
This instrumental set is anchored in vintage soul-jazz and instrumental funk—Hammond organ workouts, horn-driven grooves, and the heavy, drum-forward sound of contemporary outfits like Menahan Street Band, The Budos Band, and El Michels Affair sitting comfortably alongside originals from Grant Green, Herbie Hancock, and Eddie Harris.
Extended Play Recorded!
Mostly a mid-century American record collection: Southern soul and R&B out of the Stax and Atlantic orbit, hard bop and organ-driven soul-jazz from the Blue Note era, and the funk that grew out of both. Around that core sit British Invasion pop, Link Wray's tremolo-heavy instrumentals, and a vein of counterculture oddity — Beefheart, the Bonzo Dog Band, the Holy Modal Rounders — that keeps the set from playing as a straight revival.
