Album Notes & Community Reviews

Subtitled 'Recorded Live at the Apollo, Vol. III', this double album captures the Godfather of Soul fronting the legendary J.B.'s at the absolute height of their telepathic, polyrhythmic power. The relentless, heavily syncopated funk grooves completely eschew traditional melody, favoring a raw, deeply physical approach to extended dance vamps.
