JSngry Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 (edited) FROM DUSTY GROOVE: One of the hippest albums ever cut by Lionel Hampton -- a badass batch of 70s funk tunes, recorded with arrangements from the Chicago powerhouse team at Brunswick Records! Lionel's vibes are mixed with tight drums, sweet bass, and some very soulful arrangements that make even the mellower tracks feel like they've been lifted from some lost blacksploitation soundtrack. Includes great versions of 2 Willie Henderson tunes -- "Off Into A Black Thing" and "Funky Chicken", both of which sound even better than the originals with the vibes in place -- plus the tracks "Easy", "Shut Your Mouth", "I Found Sunshine", and "One Man Band". I very much like the Sonny Lester produced Hampton things that go off into a funky groove, and wonder how these compare.
