Album Notes & Community Reviews

Combining exuberant live performances with a handful of new studio tracks, this double LP captures the massive funk and soul collective operating at their absolute commercial and creative zenith. The tight, brilliantly arranged horn sections and soaring vocal harmonies perfectly convey their spiritually uplifting, Afrocentric jazz-funk vision to roaring crowds.
